That's a nice tip.. Pulling down the belt a little to determine which is tensioner... Helps non-mechanics like me

I watched your video which was very helpful and thank you for making it . I don’t have a jack and wasn’t comfortable removing the tire so I attempted it anyway . I did it with a regular opened end 17 mm wrench . It wasn’t easy but doable .
@jameswoodard64853 жыл бұрын
Helpful video. The wrench you mentioned for moving the tensioner is quoted as a 14mm. (see 01:42 in the video). Based on this i purchased a 14mm wrench only to discover while under the car that a 17mm wrench is required. My bad for not stopping the video and zooming in on the wrench to see the 17mm. You might consider correcting this to save future DIY'ers some grief. Also, where is the drop down menu located and how do you access it to see the links (I'm a novice KZbin user)?

Helpful video I think that I might be able to do the job myself maybe. I'm new to this. My husband use to do the macanic and maintenance of the vehicles but with him just becoming a double amputee it's on me now to figure it out. Where can I find a list of everything you used? I have a 2008 Kia spectra ex. This will be my first serpentine belt.

Why do mechanics forget or don’t replace those clips? I found 5 missing from the engine guard shield on my Camry this week and the stupid thing fell on the road. Couldn’t they buy a bag of generic ones from Amazon, at least try to put something there.
@HowtoAutomotive5 жыл бұрын
Ahmad Ghosheh The shield underneath is possible but if you hit something they break very easily and just fall off. Such is a parking curve. I can’t speak for other technicians but here at our shop we have a Assortment of clips that we replace and install all the time. Very common for them to be missing or broken.
