Appreciate your detailed video. Thank you. I compiled a step-by-step instruction sheet for our 2009 Accent. My impact wrench could not remove the 22mm crank bolt. Thanks to you, I got the same pulley holder tool. The teeth on the timing belt were dry-rotted and fell off, then the crank gear just spun. Arizona summers did not help. As you know, engine is interference. Lucked out. Engine started instantly, idled fine and runs good. Dodged that bullet.

Great video. Other guys said remove engine mount so I did. I think they were doing water pump as well. It does give a bit more room but as you have just demonstrated not necessary for just the belt. I get that you are doing this with minimal tools but hop down to Bunnings and get an 18volt half inch drive impact driver. One of the best tools I have bought in 50 years. I use it daily in my mowing business. 5 years and it is still good as new. Cheers.

Would you do everything the same way if the original timing belt was stripped? Would a stripped timing belt damage the valves in the 1.6L engine? Great video very easy to follow. Also I think you can get a timing belt replacement kit that includes a water pump which would be ideal to replace at the same time especially if you have all of the associated components already removed.

The best! Mate, i hope your work pays off soon, these are the best instructionals ive seen on this platform. When that ad revenue kicks in and you get working on more popular cars this channel will take off. The aussie chrisfix !!!

Hi Glenn, if you search for "2006-2011 Hyundai Accent Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement" there is a video which shows the water pump replacement. It looks like they remove the old water pump after removing the timing belt. Unfortunately we didn't change ours at the time. Remember that coolant is quite toxic, especially to animals. Take care and dispose of it appropriately.

@@2ndGearLow Thanks mate, I did the whole job today - cambelt, tensioner, water pump plus the alternator and power steering belts (which were shot when I pulled them off). Your video allowed me to take my time and be methodical. I can't thank you enough for this step by step guide - it ensured I didn't miss anything - especially when putting it all back together! I am so glad I did it - the bearings in the water pump and tensioner/idler pulley were all so noisy and the old cambelt was showing cracks on almost every tooth, so it's likely it would have all failed spectacularly very soon if I had not done it. I'm in New Zealand and Hyundai quoted me over $800 for the parts. I ended up importing it all from Australia for less than $200 delivered (Gates aftermarket stuff, but all looks good quality).

Excellent video. I would also be telling people to beware of buying a timing belt that's kinked. Those belts don't last long. When you are given a timing belt that is kinked. It should be round and free and not in a packed tight cardboard. Fiber glass doesn't like sharp angles. Also check the date of manufacture. It could be sitting on a shelf for years.

Hi mate, thanks for watching. You could use an impact to remove the pulley, however you will still need to hold the pulley to be able to torque the bolt up properly on re-assembly. It's really important the crankshaft bolt is tightened correctly so we would not recommend using the impact to reinstall it

Hi in 7:58 you used a universal pulley holder to take off camshaft. If the aligned marks move how do you aligned them again when the nut is off? Thanks much appreciated.

@2ndGearLow

11 ай бұрын

Hi Antonio, I believe you're referring to removing the crankshaft pulley bolt (rather than camshaft). If you overshoot the marks in the process of cracking the bolt using the 22mm socket, you can make just under 2 full rotations of the crankshaft pulley again to bring both sets of marks on the crankshaft and camshaft back into alignment. The reason 2x rotations of the crankshaft pulley are required here is that the camshaft sprocket has twice as many teeth as the crankshaft sprocket, meaning that one rotation of the crankshaft pulley will result in its markings being aligned, while the camshaft sprocket would be 180 degrees out of alignment. The process of using the 22mm socket to rotate the pulley again will not re-tighten the bolt much (after you have already cracked it), then you can simply remove the bolt once the markings are back in alignment

@2ndGearLow

Жыл бұрын

Hi Tyron, thanks for watching and great question. I think what you might be getting at here is whether this engine is an interference engine or not. An interference engine means that when one or more of the valves are in the fully open position they can extend into an area of the cylinder where the piston may travel, meaning that if the timing belt snapped the piston could hit the valve and cause major damage. In normal operation, the timing belt ensures the pistons and valves never occupy the same space so no damage is caused. In a non-interference engine, when the piston is at top dead centre (TDC), i.e. its farthest travel, it will still not reach far enough to hit any of the valves in the fully open position (their farthest travel), meaning that even if the timing belt were to snap the pistons cannot collide with the valves. In short, if the timing belt snaps in an interference engine major internal damage will be caused. From research online, it looks like all Hyundai engines are interference engines (including the 1.4L / 1.6L covered here), which means that valves and pistons would very likely be damaged if the timing belt snaps. Best practice is to keep on top of the timing belt and ensure it is changed at or just before the required intervals to reduce the likelihood of that expensive damage occurring.

Where did you get the tool for holding the crank pulley

Hi Johan, if the engine is sounding different after changing the timing belt you need to investigate it as soon as possible, and don't run the engine until you have figured it out. If the timing has been changed by mistake, catastrophic damage can be caused. As stated in the video, it's critical to ensure the timing marks are correctly aligned on the camshaft and crankshaft and not moved relative to each other between when the old belt is removed and new installed. Best to pull it all apart and check again

My camshaft sprocket isn’t rotating
