Cant thank you enough!. I fixed an extremely loud squeaking sound on cold start by watching this video. I did not change the belt but just tightened it using the tensioner. Great camera angles, very clear explanation really helped. My car is a 1999 accord..
Nice work 👍🏼
mine still squeaks ! and while trying to fix it i broke off the 12mm bolt on the right side of the p/s pump
I do that about every 3 weeks. 🤣
@@NutzAboutBolts ?
I have a 99 Accord as well. Could not agree more thanks you for all the precise detail and close up camera angles. You saved me in a pinch!
Thanks you so much for the video! Mechanics put the wrong size belt on mine so now I'm going to replace with OEM part myself to stop it from squealing at start ups. Bob Blarney's comment has a great tip of not using a pry bar, but rather, use the provided 1/2" square hole pointed to the left/ passenger side at the top of power steering pump and use a breaker bar or ratchet to tension the belt. Much better leverage and no denting scratching surrounding parts!
Dora Dean true, we didn’t see that hole till later on but you can use that hole :)
A simple, straight forward and well filmed video. Thanks!
good work! thanks!
I have a 2001 Honda Accord sedan 2.3l with auto trans. I appreciate that you show what’s needs to be shown and you keep the talk relevant to what you’re doing. I’m sure I’ll use your timing belt video when the time comes. Thanks for sharing your time & knowledge.
I just want to say thank you for making this video. I have no power thanks to hurricane Irma and I wouldn't be able to get to work tomorrow without replacing my belt. Thank you so much it means a lot.
glad we could help
I just changed both 2000 Honda Accord...thank you so much...
Excellent stuff. I just changed my belts and it is perfect (Honda Accord 2002). I used a bit of 10wd40 on all the bolts before I loosened as some were stuck... seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the step by step and tool list especially!
+Michael Benjamin thanks! Glad you got it done :)

Thank you! Very helpful. And to think I almost paid someone $300 to do this for me! Saved me $250 😅
Great job!
Thanks for the video. My belts broke on me today and I want to do it myself instead of taking it to the shop. This video has helped me out,I'll let you know how it goes...Thanks
Coreymac1 np! :)
How did it go?
You did a grate job on your video Thank you for taking your time and helping people 👍
great video,i just replaced both belts.you explain the job in detail,awesome camera angle
thank you, we appreciate the feedback
Great video. Thank you so much for making it. I just followed everything you did and fixed it myself. Thanks again
Nicely done, thank you for your time and sharing. Dano C is correct, use a ½ breaker bar to apply tension on the PS pump, easy does it.
Thanks again.
yup.
re the power steering pump Don't use a pry bar. Did you notice the 1/2" square hole on the top of the pump? That's for fitting a 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet to tension the belt.
Thank you Bob for the wonderful tip! Went to my car and found the square hole you mentioned. Will make this a one person job whole lot easier without denting anything!
big help, never would have noticed that square on my own...thanks again.
3/8" not 1/2"
@@ahoorakia it is the 1/2, the 3/8 is too loose.
@@cpsinc6052 you are right
This video seems very well done, I had both belts break entirely on my 1991 Accord LX, and I'm assuming the engines are similar just based on where the pulleys sit. Is there any huge difference between the 1991 and this model?
Great video! It's clear you know both your businesses (Mechanics and Videographer) Keep it up...
thank you, we appreciate it :)
Great video. Quick and detailed. No BS. Thanks
Well done video. Need to replace broken Alternator Belt on my Daughter's 2001 Accord. This Video tells me what to do.
good work!
Nice video. All this time I thought my Honda had one belt. I see that it has two now. But I have never had the belts changed. So the other day I sprayed "belt conditioner" on them and now my belts make this strange noise. I read that the belt conditioner can also mess it up too. I should've left well enough alone.
But I think I will change the belts anyway since I never have.
thurm101 Belt conditioner only last for a while before the lubricate dry's up... But I would never use anything on the belt since they're suppose to be dry and when the belt do squeal, that's a sign that its your belt that is going bad.
Car actually has 3 belts.... Don't forget timing belt
@The Patriot not sure about the v6... But i know the 4 banger does
Great detail, informative, and extremely helpful. Yes your efforts were helpful. I need to change the serpentine (all the belts) belt on a 1999 Honda Accord LX. Thanks. 👍🏻😎🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
Hey I had question I got the new alternator on but now the adjustment bolt tensioner won't screw into the hole and I sure I had it same way before I removed it now it won't go in, the whole not stripped because I tried smaller bolt and it went in
Best demonstration video by far!
How did you reach down there to easy? Is the wheel gone or something
What was the belt size for the bottom sr thank you. Very helpful to
You are a lifesaver thank you so much for the detailed video!!👍
Sir, you are awesome!! Thank you for the upload. VERY Useful. Subscribed!!
How much of tight of the alternator u tight it up too
I cant seem to find a video where they actually show where they put the belts on the bottom
Excellent dude !!! Exactly what I was looking for !! Thank you. It just amazes that Honda didn't come a design that would use only one longer belt instead of two.... and a belt tensioner (spring loaded) would be nice ! Anyway, you got my job easier for one of these weekends that will be warmer... right now temps around 28-30.F is not fun to work on driveway ... unless it's an emergency !!!
How can you determine the correct tension for the belts? Would a torque wrench help? I'm afraid without experience I would leave it too tight or too loose and either burn the alternator or the belts would wear out too fast.
In this case it's simply tightening the power steering back into place, basically you don't directly tighten or loosen the belt, you just tighten the other component into place and it's already in the right position for ideal tension.
Good morning I have a problem with my honda civic 2005 I feel bust the alternator belt, it is changed but the car starts and goes off 3 seconds, if the crankshaft sensor disconnection the car starts well but does not exceed 4 thousand Revolutions
thanks my friend , the job is done , the AC Charger belt is nice in place
thesniperofcs nice!
Saved me a bunch of time and money dude thanks!!
What size wrench do I need
I just changed both belts on a neighbors 1998 Accord with 180K miles. The inner belt was paper dry and shredding it was only 1/2 as wide! Never saw a belt so dry or cracked!! Total time 1 hour. Belts were $35 at Autozone.
gj!
Thx!
How to moisturize a dry belt or clean pulleys?
Great video, it helped me change my belts. Thanks.
+Book of Stories np! :)
Great video for the 2001 Honda Accord 4-cylinder!
My car stood in parking for about 7 months. Now Once I tried to start engine I heard huge noise from this belt. I immediately turned off engine to avoid any damage. Seems like pulleys r rusty. Any solution, begore going to a mechanic?
Hi, hope you will respond but is this a F20B6 Motor? Or maybe you know if it's identical for F20B6 (2.0i v-tec) motor?
Deividas Gedgaudas i believe it is a f23a vtec engine
Your motor is SUPER CLEAN. nice
thanks!
great video really help me I ended changing the 2 of them work prefect but . kind off smile like a Lil bit of burn belt any ideas wat it my be thank .
+Daniel Amador I would check the belts to see if you over tighten it or something causing friction on it and burning it. Can't tell without looking.
The belts popped off my car while I was driving and they did have some cracking, so I decided to replace them myself and after I followed through then I turned the car on and they popped out as soon as I did...do you know if it might be the timing belt that needs fixing or could have it been that I might put them on wrong?? ( I did check that they weren't loose so when they popped off I was confused )
you might want to tighten it down more... if its loose, it will pop off... Make sure the drive belts are all on the ribs.
What size belts are there
I replaced both belts and as I started the car it started squeaking and it still does. Are the belts loose?
kevin d could be the pulley itself that’s causing your problem
one of the belts is too tight
Ive had a squealing sound for a bit when I start the car 02 accord?
hey NutzAboutBolts, was someone helping install the belts from below, or were you reaching through the wheel well (which doesn't seem likely). thanks
if you can't snake the drive belt onto the pulley alone, it helps to have someone below guide it in so you don't mess up. :) yes we did have a helper lol.
So I reinstalled a new belt on my honda about 4 months ago it squeals in the morning, as well in the cold or sometimes when vehicle is in idle could the new belt be bad or alternator?
If you have a roadside assistance service, they can usually go to your home and rest your alternator. I'd also recommend searching this in regards to Scotty Kilmer, in the CZcams search bar.
Good looking bro. Not a big repair but thanks for showing the way.
thanks, your video helped a lot :)
Why did you replace it what were the symptoms? You should say that in the beginning of video
Important question I broke the bottom bolt on the power steering pump. The one you are taking off at 0:29. Could you tell me the size of the bolt? Thanks
should be 12mm
Gracias bro me ayudo mucho tu bideooo
How tight does the pulley need to be that's attached to the power steering pump??
Tension: using (07JGG-001000A or 07JGG-001010A)
Used Belt: 390 - 5 4 0 N (40-55 kgf, 88-121 Ibf)
New Belt: 740-880 N (75 -90 kgf, 165-198 Ibf)
wow thanks for this.. seems very simple!
GeeAre Vibezzz AlltimehighAces np
Yes I believe I can
First this applies to 4 cylinder Honda for that time frame, the v6 models have one serpentine belt which powers alternator and power steering. Second this isn't your drive belt, it's your belts for power steering and alternator. Not your engine's drive belt which is much more complexed and cost much more.
Vangundy ch I think you’re confused, the one that drives the cam, water pump and crank pulleys are called timing belt, some have the timing chain.This one is called drive belts since there’s 2 belts driving the pulleys, the one belt that drives all the pulleys are called serpentine belt.
What's that top belt is called? the one in the bottom that drive the ac is serpentine isn't it?
top belt is the Alternator drive belt, bottom is A/C drive belt. Serpentine belt is referred as 1 belt, these are 2 separate belts so they are called drive belts. Hope that helps.
Probably not listening but thanks OP you helped me out..
There are 2 kinds of alternator belts. Is it just the alternator belt or is it the alternator and air-conditioning belt??
If you have AC for your car, there will be an extra pulley so the belt will need to be longer, if you don’t have AC, then your vehicle don’t have the compressor AC pulley for the belt, so it’ll be shorter. Hope that helps.
hi, I have a 90 accord with gator back v belts, can those be replaced with the micro v belts from Gates
+Tony Tapuro they're all the same, what's important is the belt length, just make sure it's the proper length or it won't fit
+NutzAboutBolts ,Thanks I tried fitting the micro v belts and it seems OK it's flushed in there and all grooves fits just right
+Josh Tapuro good work
a bro quick question I changed my belt now it squeaks on start up how can I fix that
you need to tighten the belt more to remove the slack.
Jonathan Chavez belt conditioner spray might help... about 4$ ...
@@leonspringsboystv2025 How to use that carefully?
My 1996 Honda accord lx has 4 belts but autozone says I'm alone post to have 3 I need help asap to get my car up
It’s usually 3 belts... do you have a picture of it?
What kind of power socket wrench was that?
A Shimoda it's a 1/4 electrical ratchet. you can buy them at home depot, we got ours at Matco Tools.
Outstanding video! Just saved $$$ changing both belts myself on my daughter's 98 Accord LX. Kudos to the comment about using a 3/8" breaker bar to pull slack from P/S pump belt!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome! :)
Did you remove you front tire to do this? I noticed you reach down when putting the belt back on. You can just turn the belt sideways and it will go around the harmonic balancer. Great video. Thanks!
we did remove the tires to give a clearer demonstration, but you don't have to.
Yeah, I went outside right after watching your video and did the job. It's a little tricky, but with a little twisting and turning I got the belts on. I just thought I'd mention. there is a 1/2 in insertion hole on the top of the Power steering pump to fit a breaker bar for tensioning and I thought I could use my 1/2 in. Craftsman ratchet (don't have a breaker bar), but the head was too big to get in there. I suppose with a short extension I could have used it, but didn't have one, so I used your method and pried it to get tension. Anyway, thanks again.
would this be the same with a civic?
+Hunter Hoskins they should have a similar set up if it's the older model. I believe the newer model uses a serpentine belt and not drive belts.
Nice video Man thanks
Works great good info
Gracias muy buen bideo
Need to see a belt diagram for a 99 Honda Accord V6
Nice and clean
I have replaced both belts, power steering pump and it is still making a rattling noise like something is loose, can anyone help me figure this out?? I do have the power steering fluid up to the top line so I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas??
If the noise wasn't there before, then recheck your work, could be the belt isn't tight enough.
the noise was there before and is there still so I'm not sure what to look for now
can you post a video of the noise to our fb page.
Yes me
Can noise due to rust also. My car stayed in parking for a long time. If rust is case, what is solution to clean pulleys?
NICE AND CLEAN JOB
antony maldonado thx!
love these clips as always
Both new belts squeel? Too tight? Any suggestions?
Yes if it’s brand new. Loosen a little.
@@NutzAboutBolts crank pulley is also a little wobbly. Could it be that? None of the other pulleys are wobbly
@@davidc5419 yes, tighten that
Changed my Alternator belt, no more squeak on cold start.
My issue though is after putting the power steering belt back on it's insanely difficult to turn the steering wheel. Maybe my belt is too tight or too loose?
Think I'll have to take it to the mechanic tomorrow, at least the alternator squeal seems fixed.
Could be a loose belt, try twisting the belt and make sure it can’t be twist more than half way.
@@NutzAboutBolts Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try that. It's really tight already it seems but maybe I just gotta throw more elbow grease in there.
For example I can put my thumb to the power steering belt and the tension is loose. I can push my thumb into the power steering belt I mean. So i'll try tightening.
@@omarndao512 best gauge is twisting the belt. Was it working before replacing the belt?
@@NutzAboutBolts Yeah. Power steering was perfect before I did the job. I just took out the power steering belt like shown in the vid, because my Alternator belt needed replacing due to squealing on startup.
After putting the power steering belt back on, the belt's chirping, as well as my power steering is insanely tight. When I turn the steering wheel in park for example the pulley seizes & stops spinning.
@@omarndao512 could be a belt issue then. I’d recheck and make sure it’s properly tighten and length wise…
I want the whole removal process cause my dont wanna slip through n im still learning
James Burriss This is the whole removal process...
No I mean I can't get my belt to slip through after its off the alternator.
James Burriss did you back up the bolt that hold the tension of the alternator all the way? The alternator should drop all the way down for you to remove the belt without any problems.
Yea I got it off. It just don't wanna slide through the pulleys there's hardly any room
James Burriss good job bro
you should put in the title if this is for a 2.3 or a 3.0 liter. because, for a 3.0 liter, you have to undo an engine mount
i liked how you listed the tools needed too, much help thanks:)
Dj Swizbeats np :D glad it helped.
Good vid man
turbofreak521 thanks!
Thank you very much!
What's the name of the belts
There's 2 types, one is called the p/s drive belt, and the other one is called the alternater drive belt.
Is this a 6 cylinder ?
4 cylinder

Thank you
You’re welcome 😀
Thank you for your knowledge, but I must blame you for not telling us that power steering fluid will leak from the case if you unfasten that set of four bolts near the hose… Just kidding. I’m sure that one’s on me, lol.
thanks...this video made me 100$
nice

@@NutzAboutBolts do you have the owner manual for a odissey 1995 in pdf file that you cold share by email
the only thing that confused me was the pry bar thing
we used the pry bar to remove slack from the drive belt. You can also use a 3/8 ratchet on the alternator slot on top as well to remove slack on the drive belt.
Do you have to use power tools? I would like to do this today and only have ratchets
+ChronicOnMyBrain no, you don't need the power tool to do this, but you do need extensions to reach the bolts
+NutzAboutBolts Thank you! I'm going to princess auto now, any recommendations?
+ChronicOnMyBrain there's a 3/8 hole on the power steering pump pulley to pull the tension up so that you can tighten the bolt in if you don't have a pry bar.
you can use good old fashion ratchet and long sockets
I have an Honda Accord 2004, and my steering wheel get super stiff. I don't know what to change the power steering fluid or the pump. Help please
change the fluids first since its cheaper to do it, if nothing change, then change the pump next. There could be air in the power steering system.
GOOD I KNW I CAN!
You don't need to take the power steering pump
What?
how to know the right tension for the main belt ?
there's 2 accessory belts, there is no main ones.
how tight should the 10mm bolt be ?
thanks for posting.
today i decided to go to the mosque to perform Al-Fajr prayer , with my first 100 Meters suddenly all the red lights on the dashboard started , i stopped the car and found a cat stuck in there , the AC and charger belt was taken off , i found a sharp blade in the car and i started cutting off the belt to rescue the cat , i used the jack handle to pull the wires and the hoses away , finally it comes out with some hurts in feet with no broken bones :( i feel sorry for those cats and i hate them in the same time
It was just on of ---'s creatures trying to stay warm. Try tapping on the hood in cold weather before starting the car to alert the cat to move

You make it look easy hah, thanks for video...and how the f*** can 97 assh***$ give a thumbs down, I don't understand
Omg ita all inverse due to the camera
Nope. Read the text on the belt. It's not flipped.
The 95 thumbs down are mechanics
This is not the v6😑
