Serpentine Belt Replacement
 
Does anyone have any experience with replacing a serpentine belt on a 09 RA? Maybe a link to a How to with a diagram of how the belt is mounted? My belt went on my RA this morning :(

Hope this helps. It's a bit of a pain in the arse in terms of space to work...

Ha, have you ever replaced the alternator belt on a 1.6L Honda Civic? You have to remove two other belts to get to it. And it was very close quarters. That sucked royal donkey bawls.

This doesn't look TOO bad, but changing belts sucks in general.

Haven't work on a Honda, but I get what you are saying ;)

You can get to the tensioner bolt from passenger wheel well.

You will most likely end up with bloody knuckles or fingers doing it yourself. Good luck and be careful.

I had taken my car in for a regular el cheap-o oil change, and it ended up costing me 800 bucks, because they said my serp belt and pulleys were shot. A bit strange since the LAST service I got, no mention of a 'hey, just a heads up..your belt is getting a little squirrly, you may wanna think about looking in to that'...boom, Here's your bill..oh, and we will wait till you call to find out why it's taking 5 hrs to do an oil change before we mention anything about it.

I changed mine not too long ago. My pulleys were in very good condition so i did not changed them. I had 2 pulleys on stand by in case mine were in bad condition. The whole kit: 2 pulleys + belt will cost you $46.31 (shipped) from Amazon and about 1.5 to 2 hours of work.

2x Gates 36323 Idler Pulley =$24.16
1X Gates K061033 Multi V-Groove Belt =$22.15

Best way to get "El cheap-o" oil change is to DIY. Only thing I would be scared doing by myself is evo x turbo swap :(

I'm bringing a dead thread back to life...

I'm close to 30,000 mile service and I know in the service manual it stated belt change is required.

I found this by Goodyear...

Anyone have any thoughts?
