This worked very well. For anyone with a 2016 Accord V6 you'll have to take off the oil pressure switch (if you're comfortable with that) in order to get to the screws holding in the tensioner. After that follow this video and you'll be fine. Luckily for me the tensioner didn't snap back so it was a quick old out and new in.

Just wanted to say thanks. I just performed this operation on a 2016 Honda Odyssey. Have to say, was a bit nervous pulling the pin on the tensioner before installing, but the job went well as you described. Had to lay on back, as didn't quite have the visibility you had in the video, but all in all it went well. Thank you sir. I watched about 11 videos on this job and yours was the ONLY ONE that bypassed the need to remove belts and covers. Well done. 👍

Update. Took the tensioner back out, tried the bottom bolt first again. Realized I had been pushing it TOO far in, that was why the lower bolt hole wasn't lining up. (Did advance the crank about 2" on the outside to loosen). Anyway, lined up the bottom and it went in. Then... the top one took a little pressure and lined up! THANKS MAN!! This whole procedure, while a pain (due to the mis-align), saved my probably $1500+ and a ton of PITA. Huge thanks ABCDE! - Dave.

I just wanna add a little bit of icing to the cake so when I call Honda and specifically ask them, can they give me a price for the tensioner only being replaced for the timing belt? They explained to me that it’ll be $950 because it’s a 6 hour job and it requires you to remove the timing belt to replace it per Honda so let’s just say these dealerships or these repair shops are all about stealing your money and doing unnecessary things that don’t even need to be done. Thanks to your lovely video and my boyfriend doing the work. I saved a ton of money. Appreciate you yet again.
@abcdeinformation3048Ай бұрын
you really cant blame the dealer. they are not stealing your money. it just happen that i find a way to do it easier. but by the book, its a complete removal of timing belt to replace the tensioner. in real life, theres a short cut going to a store, but not all people, even google doesnt know that way. Only few people I taught this trick back at the dealer where I work at. again, this procedure is not certified by honda.

Just finished,, 08 Accord,, the only few differences from the video are , at the beginning when you pull off two pieces of plastic that are ruining the visual, the accord 4 door anyways you can pull the plastic on the right but there is no plastic to give you a clear shot at the tension, ya gotta get low and look up, slightly,, taking it off went as this video shows , and the other difference I experienced was putting the new one back in, bottom first went in with controlled force, not a lot of force, I didn't have to turn the crank with the 19 mil, the top hole went in almost as easy , so, I must say, the video and just as importantly to me the comments gave me the confidence to do it up , So, ide say anyone afraid to do it like I was even tho I've don't alotta things under the hood, , just follow this video, it's dead on, Happy Holidays to you all,, and Thank you Mr mechanic 🧰 I can stop worrying I'm gonna destroy the car ,, 💯

Few extra tips: -jack the car as high as you can, especially on a sedan that sits lower. Extra visibility and reach is a must -use a good bright light to luminate the working area. My headlamp didn’t give me the best visibility. -turn your wheel to the right after for some more room -take off brake caliper for more room -use the 27mm socket + extension to keep the tensioner moving up or down. Just directly backwards. -don’t be fat or you’re gonna have a hard time!

If the vehicle has 100K miles or has driven that many miles since last timing belt replacement, then it is more than just the tensioner that should be having maintenance. There are kits that have the water pump, tensioner and associated pulleys, as well as the timing belt. It is cheaper to do the entire maintenance instead of risking the belt, water pump, and/or pulleys going bad after just replacing the tensioner.

This worked on my 01 Acura CL but you need to take off the oil pressure sensor and use the base of it to pry up as there is very little room.

Also had to disconnect and reconnect the battery as the cam sensors were not happy.

Well i tried this and it worked 100% i have a 2016 acura mdx and the only thing diferent was i had to remove an oil sensor. I used the same 27 mm socket to remove that. Then used the same socket as leverage. The only thing that got me was i didnt rotate the crank enough so i strugled alil. But after i rotated it more it went right in. Sadly this wasnt my problem so il keep looking but this works 100%

@@llamasmario8747 yeah. Deffinitely its not the tensioner. Monitor the noise if it stops whenever you see ECO in your dash. If noise stops when eco show up, you probably need valve adjust. If i have one with bad rear engine mount also.

Don, great video. I was hearing the same noise and many on KZbin are saying it’s the timing tensioner issue. So I replaced it a few days ago (before I saw yours so it took me much longer to replace it) but I’m still hearing the exact same noise. Can it be the timing tensioner pulley or idler bearing issue?
@abcdeinformation30482 ай бұрын
if your hearing more from the top, i have seen a lot where cam shaft lobes worn out. specially on high mileage. or maybe a loose spark plugs.

Oh…I did this on a 2008 Honda Ridgeline and $58.00 tensioner from Amazon. Timing belt last replace at 225000 mile and now has 270000 miles on the clock.

I'm working on my timing belt tensioner on 2007 Saturn Vue 3.5v6. I replaced my tensioner it was rattling. When I put my new tensioner on it took me a few times to get it right. My question is I had to turn my crankshaft alot but the new one then just fell in place. I rolled it around and I don't feel any metal to metal hit but still nervous about starting it up. For my own peice of mind is there anyway I can check the timing to make sure I didn't do anything wrong
@abcdeinformation30489 ай бұрын
Yes. Deffinitely. Remove the 2 rubber plug on the front and rear timing belt cover, turn the crank clockwise till you see on crankshaft pulley white markings lining up to the timing cover. Also check inside the plug of top timing cover. Front cam sprocket have numberings. Indicating firing order. Line it up to #1. Once its lined up, check the crank and rear cam sprocket if they are also lined up with the timing marks on the cover

If I completely move the crankshaft pulley like you, it doesn't go out of time? I had to move my pulley just the same to be able to insert the hydraulic tensioner, that's my question (obviously without removing the timing belt, I turned with the two upper pulleys, they moved next to the crankshaft pulley
@abcdeinformation30489 ай бұрын
Thats the same question as the other guy here at the forum. It also says on the video that even if it sprung on you, it will not go out of timing. You can keep spinning the crank untill you get enough room to get the tensioner in place. But its a good practice to put it on tdc to save you some time.
@joshgarner28068 ай бұрын
Quick question, how does turning the crank not throw off the timing? I have the same noise and issue with my 2011 Honda pilot and I’m super nervous I’m gonna throw the timing off and destroy my engine.
@abcdeinformation30488 ай бұрын
It wont. The timing cover has a very small gap for the belt to jump teeth. Only way it will jump is, if you start the engine without the tensioner. But hand cranking it, its not enough to put it out of timing. And deffinitley you can check the timing after you replace the tensioner. By just setting it to tdc, and check the timing marks if they are lined up before you start your engine.make sure you only turn the crank pulley clockwise.
@scottklingbeil33537 ай бұрын
Great video, I’m gonna try this as soon as my new tensioner comes in the mail. Is it possible that the belt can skip time when you take the tensioner off?

Its not gonna skip. As long as you keep those timing covers intacked
