I’ve done many of these timing/water pump jobs, never once had to pull the starter. The book wants you to use the fly wheel holder tool for when you torque the flywheel bolt, instead you can use a chain wrench just tight enough to keep from rotating the crankshaft pulley. If you’re using the crankshaft pin and the camshaft holder then there’s no need to pull the starter.

Thanks for the video, starting a 2017 1.5 timing belt change. Was trying to figure out how to bypass starter pull before your video ended and you jumped right into it. Good stuff!

Thanks for a great video. I just did my daughter's 2017 Escape. My Amazon tool kit worked fine and I did not remove the starter. I did test the way the pin contacts the crank by backing the pin off a couple turns and sure enough, the crank move a little more. That just means that it does butt up against the end of the pin. I hope the guy that designed that back timing cover stud with the bracket has his nuts boiled in oil. Thanks!

Remove the bolts for the drivers side drive shaft carrier bracket on the back of the motor. Move it towards the passenger side enough to see the bolt behind. Remove the 10mm headed bolt from behind the bracket and use the pin. Pin and cam tool is fine to torque the pulley. Removing the sump just seems daft and can cause oil leaks if your not careful.

Also the reason they use friction fixed gears instead of keyed is due to simplicity. It’s timed perfectly every time. No issues with a tooth off or the tensioner to tight and it sounds like it has a supercharger. Just whining because it’s tight. The phaser lock holds the cams perfectly. The crank dowel holds the crank. Install the belt. Release the tensioner and now it’s perfectly timed and tension is correct. Better than some vehicles with checking belt deflection and twist. Mini cooper did something similar with the N14 engine. But with chains.

You and both know that, but I see a lot people tearing into these vehicles and not knowing what happens when you take that balancer bolt loose. A lot of people just don't do the research either. I'm a little partial to timing marks and not having to buy a tool kit for every engine. Most of the tensioners are hydraulic or cam style with an indicator to set them. In any case they are somewhat self adjusting. In rare cases you could have the old style tensioner that you just lock down, that would be one case where you could over tension the belt. I just think they make some of this stuff overly complicated. Assembly at the plant is faster I'm sure. Appreciate the feed back. Thanks for watching!!

Welp if your reading this most likely people will have a bad water pump and the customer is cheap... Explain to the customer the tools required for the timing belt only a speciality shop or dealer have. Or if your like me a did a side job, replace the timing belt tensioner, water pump w/gasket(o.e is metal, aftermarket is not) and stretch alternator belt. DO NOT pull the crank pulley, remove upper timing cover(10mm nut to remove turbo inlet, then 8mm bolt holding rubber side of the cover on left side of motor), mark the belt on which tooth the cams it was on while marking the crank tooth to block, wedge something plastic to keep the belt from slipping off the crank, replace your stuff, check your markings and rotate the crank twice with 18mm to make sure your markings stay true

I don’t advise it with a Amazon kit. But you can torque the crank bolt without removing the starter. The phaser plate and crank dowel with hold it.

I'm doing a head job on one of these, but the phaser tool doesn't fit. Every kit I see has that same phaser tool. My exhaust cam phaser is the same diameter all the way to the edge, if that makes sense. It doesn't have that step down where the tool sits. To me, it looks like every kit is the same exact phaser tool, and the tool in my kit matches the tool that Prodemand says to use. And of course there's no alignment pin on the phaser or camshaft so I can't just slap it together. I think we have the same kit actually, nice.

It is steel...will not handle the torque angle... Then remove the tools....use the drive belt locked under itself (see video) and torque angle the new crank bolt to spec...rotate engine and reinstall the timing tools.

A lot of people think the crankshaft would shear the pin off, but actually the counter weight on the crankshaft butts up to it. It pushes directly on the tip. That's why you need to make sure the pin is threaded all the way in. I've never broke one. In the service manual, that is the procedure to hold it. They flywheel lock plate hold the crankshaft to loosen the bolt. That's why I just zip them out with the impact.

I had the pleasure of getting one of these in my shop. What a pain in the ass. I bought the same tool kit from Amazon that you used. Everything was installed properly. After torquing the balancer bolt I removed all of the locking tools. Turns out the tool that holds the flywheel cracked in half after only one use. Luckily the broken piece didn't fall into the bell housing. Just imagine if I relied on just the lock pin in the block. What if that broke off in the block instead? This whole job is pretty sketchy.

@paycheckmonster

2 ай бұрын

I know a lot of people that watched the video are questioning the pin the stops the crankshaft from turning. Just to explain further. The counter balance on the crankshaft does not contact the pin from the side,. It actually makes contact on the very tip. It butts up to it and does not try to shear it off. So in theory, if it did fail. The treads would have to be pulled out and the pin would push directly out the side of the block. It sure is a cluster of a system though. I would agree. Thanks for watching!!

I may say something stupid, but does engaging into gear provide mechanic coupling of crankshaft with the wheels and then locking the wheels by applying the brakes. Could this be a solution to locking the flywheel? (Of course in case you have a manual gearbox and change the timing belt with the engine mounted on the chassis)

@trautosales477

Do you even have to remove the crank bolt and the balancer? Couldn't you just line up the tool in the cam phasers on top after the bolt stops the crankshaft and snake the belt onto the sprocket behind the crank pulley so you don't have to worry about knocking that part out of alignment?

Overly complicated that's for sure. Thanks for watching!!

This is one of many reasons why I will never own an American car, when I was a mechanic I always thought that the engineers that designed these cars had their heads up their asses 😅

Looks over complicated for no reason what a dumb design. They couldn’t have made it like a normal car… unfortunately it looks like most manufacturers are going this route

I would agree. I understand why they do it from a manufacturing point of view but engineers aren't really thinking about the service side of things. In my opinion anyway. Thanks for watching!!

Light it on fire before even attempting to work on these over engineered pieces crap

Way too much unnecessary work just to change a water pump!🤯

@Paycheck Monster You bet! I was almost to try and help a friend replace the head gasket on a 2015 Fusion 1.5l but after watching this video, I will absolutely not help him!😄

@Paycheck Monster Also I have a quick question. My friends 1.5l won't start up (unrelated to the headgasket issue) It was throwing a P00C6 which is, fuel rail pressure too low. Replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor but no change. Took the high pressure fuel pump out and the tappet cup was stuck and wouldn't come out. After getting it out, I turned the engine over by hand and the cam shaft is not turning. Do you think it's a timing belt or cam phaser?

@@daveyjones369 Most likely timing belt. Anything is possible though. Something really bad would have happened if the phaser shit the bed. Usually they don't fail to point where it won't turn the cam. Good luck.

If at all possible avoid this job. Pita not worth it. Just pickup a couple brake jobs. Same pay much less work.

All facts, or if people have skills just do Water pump, timing belt tensioner and stretch belt

At what mileage should the timing belt on a Ford 1.5L be replaced? My 2017 Ford Escape 1.5L currently has 125,411 miles.

I don't think even Ford themself do know exactly, I have read all the following distances from different sources - 200 000 mile / 80 000 km / 150 000 km / 120 000 km. so I did picked 100K km and know I won't be sorry later.

@@Marey-hw6wn it’s a moot point. My escape got totaled last weekend when I got rear ended.

Instead of taking the starter out why cant i just impact the crabk bolt off while the belt is connected then i csn even re install the bolt if i have to spin the engine
