How to Replace 2013-2017 Honda Accord Belt Tensioner

In this video I go over the steps of replacing a faulty belt tensioner.

[@JoeyT]

I fixed mine today. My Accord is much quieter. Thank you so much!

[@Striker50_]

No more supercharger. 💔

[@whiteycarlson4152]

Excellent video.I was going to replace the tensioner on a 2016 with 92,000 miles but saw that it was covered by an extended warranty with a $100 deductible. Took car to dealer and told them belt tensioner was noisy. I was in for a surprise when picking up car with a bill for $250. Noise had to be diagnosed for $140. Diagnosis ,noisy belt tensioner. Diagnosis not covered by warranty.My fault for buying warranty and taking car to dealer.

[@elkillerx]

Thank You!! My girlfriends Accord has this same issue and I was able to replace the tensioner in 30min after watching this video. The Honda dealer wanted $240 to replace the part! The tensioner on her car failed at 110,000 miles

[@Headcase333]

Thanks for the help, only problem I encountered was putting the 8 mm bolt in prior to putting the replacement in. The bolt kept getting in the way as it wouldnt stay flush . After a few knuckle scrapes I took it back out and removed the bolt. It was easy to put in after placing the tensioner. Small problem from a big help... thank you for showing me what to do and saving me a few bucks....Larry

[@nesone6520]

Great video! I sure could have used your tutorial a while back lol. I went through this already, but I was at 120K miles. And you are correct, the serpentine belt will shred when the pulley seizes. I found that out after, having a new belt in there for about 1 month.

Thought I had a slight alternator whine, the kind you get right before your battery craps out. But I could still hear it with the radio powered off. Popped the hood and could hear the whine coming from around the alternator. The car has 84K highway miles and garage kept. Took a chance and ordered the tensioner. My old bearing felt good so I was very afraid it was the alternator. Put in the new tensioner and a new belt anyway, and the car is now amazingly quiet! Awesome !!!! Now good for another 84K miles hopefully.....Also you can slide up the coolant plastic tank leaving the hose attacked and move it out of the way for more quick access. THANKS!!!!!

[@Striker50_]

I have a video showing the supercharger noise, and just uploaded a detailed video on this service. I agree, removing the reservoir makes it a lot easier. The ac line is the most annoying part of this service

Great Video - Since I started with the right tools at my car, it literally took 10 minutes to get my tensioner out

Ed, may I ask you one thing, how did you tension the new tensioner ? is it the hex bolt controls the setting of the tension ? Please share your experience, thanks

[@SnowAviation]

@@francislau9648 The tensioner is spring loaded, the hex fitting is turned to provide slack to install the serpentine belt. When you release the bolt, perfect tension.

Is the 8mm reverse thread?

[@ShawnGS300]

Hey I had the noise, I replaced the tensioner and belt, with brand new parts from the dealership, but it wasn’t the problem. It is still making the noise, I don’t know what it is. Alternator maybe, what else could it be?

[@GoGators198]

Excellent video. I expect to need to do this at some point but at 213k still not noticing any problems with it!

[@pburet]

Great video - isn't there a location on the tensioner when you can place a pin to lock the "tension released" mode ? If so you would not have the issue with the wrench getting stuck against the engine mount.

[@dougbarkdull3469]

the only thing I would add is; that by turning the wheel to the left all the way, then jacking up the car, it is very easy to access the tensioner bolt (12mm) from the wheel well, if you planned on walking upright the rest of the day

[@Striker50_]

all you need to do is remove the coolant reservoir and you get a ton more access

[@hillcress7093]

Nice Video. Thank you for taking your time to make it

[@francislau9648]

Mike, I am very impressed with your video presentation which helps me a lot in replacing my belt tensioner next week, my car is accord 2014 sport. I have a question when I attempt to loosen the 8 mm bolt and the 12 mm bolt, should I do it in the normal way i.e. counter clockwise ? I saw somewhere it mentioned that the 8 mm bolt is a reverse tread ! does this mean I have to loosen it clockwise ? I never did any repair to my car except changing the engine oil, air filters. So I am scared to do this myself but I want to try as it costs me $400 plus to do this from dealer ! Also should I buy the serpentine belt tool (i.e. long bar) from Gear Wrench ? But they don't come with the 17mm, 8mm and 12 mm ! where can I buy the proper tool ? Appreciate your advice. Thanks from Francis

[@Striker50_]

They're all counter clockwise and standard wrenches should work well enough

Just did mine and both are standard thread..not reverse. I will say this, even with a hollowed out pipe on my ratchet wrench it took a lot to break it loose. I was scared to death the bolt would break.

[@SlimNubster]

Could the belt be damaged after running it with the bad tensioner for a couple months? I'd like to skip replacing the belt. Also, how do you know that the proper tension is reached? Just by eyeballing?

[@Sunshone7311]

If the bearing on the idler of the tensioner is failing it will overheat your belt. There is no exact way to check tension other than measuring if you have an excessive amount of deflection.

[@francislau9648]

Mike, I just received the part from Rock Auto, and I do not know how to set the tension of the new tensioner ? is it control by the hex socket ?

[@Sunshone7311]

It is a bolt molded into the tensioner that is used. Use a long handle wrench and socket to apply clockwise leverage to remove the belt.

Max. temperature rating on the belt is 275 F before it begins rapid degradation of the belts structural integrity (It will a burned rubber smell and splits develop on the tines of the belt).

Michael Borquez THANKYOU that would have been helpful yesterday lol all we did was look at another cars belt to figure it out 😑 running like a champ again no noise at all thanks

[@Striker50_]

I have a vid and drawing showing it all from start to finish

[@jonathancastillo3878]

Do you have to remove the tensioner to remove the alternator? Its driving me crazy

[@Sunshone7311]

I haven't had to remove the alternator yet, but the tensioner may block access to the lower alternator bolt.

[@jonathancastillo3878]

Michael Borquez yep thanks man it in fact was blocking it, didnt have my tools at the time so it was a pain. Got it today , honda shouldve just moved the bolt just a bit smh

[@Sunshone7311]

That sucks, the design engineers almost never think about us poor garage warriors.
