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. 💔

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@briancocks1121]

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

[@BryanSanchez-oi4cv]

I thought it was the power steering pump until I found out this car has no pump. Thanks bud couldn't figure out the problem until I found your video!

Great video and very helpful! Is there a way to differentiate the noises to isolate the problem bearing? I am not sure if my noise is from the pretensioner or from the crankshaft bearing pulley?

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

[@francislau9648]

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.

[@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.

[@omarg1992]

[@Iroc_twan]

Thanks for the install tip

Great vid! Strongly recommend popping out the Coolant reservoir to get more access to the 12mm I have a detailed video on this on my channel start to finish

[@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

[@mongrelfrom9120]

Could this videos instructions also apply to a Honda Civic 2012 Ex? I’m trying to find out how to change my tensioner but can’t find a video Thx

[@zaneyone1]

Thanks for the info...especially the size hex head you need. I had to drop what I was doing and go out and buy one. I had the 12 mm socket though. I never look forward to working in tight spaces. My car was rattling in idle pretty bad and it got worse in a short period of time with 120K miles on it. I was afraid the pulley would give out on my 45 minute drive to and from work and I would have got stuck on the freeway. It is better to be safe than sorry.

[@marcobueno8146]

@Zaneyone do you know if that 8mm hex bolt is reverse thread or normal? I'm cant get mine to budge and scared to strip it

[@zaneyone1]

Marco Bueno it is not left handed threads. I would soak it with WD40 for 15 minutes and try again.

[@kevinbazan8877]

where is the second bolt to the alternator located. is behind that belt tensioner

[@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

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.
