Exclamation 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.

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'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?

I heard that Goodyear belts are the beast in the market. I had one on my Dakota truck for 60k miles w/o any problems. Just make sure that you have the right length.

I just hit 30K miles as well....but upon inspection of the belt it is in super pristine condition. Probably because of the CA weather. Do I still need to replace it? I was planning on waiting until i hit around 45K miles. What are your thoughts?
