K so Wife has a 99 civic si, still has everything on it, A/C, PS, etc etc. she needs belts replaced ((((not timing belt)))) so i was wondering if i loosing up the tensor if i could just go right on in and change them without a timing gun or anything like you do a timing belt, is it basically just a take it off and replace make sure its tight but not that way way too tight?

 

Replacing the a/c belt requires the lower drivers side mount to be shifted down to remove & install the new belt.

The cam timing has nothing to do with drive belts.

 

is moving that mount pretty hard?


and with you saying no cam or whatever, does that mean i can just take those bad boys off and change them without having to worry about anything but making sure there on good?

 

Don't take this the wrong way but if you don't know what your doing, take the car to some one that does. Check the shop directory on https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/h...directory.html

 

yeah we have thought about it i only have one year of schooling but that was a few years ago, i will have to fully look into it before i touch anything and theres no way to take that wrong if i dont know what im doing i wont do it at all, and it'll go to a shop, thanks for the replys

 

/\like he said above but yes all 3 of those belts are very very easy to change and you will not have to touch the timneing or set the timing just romove belts one at a time and install new ones

 

thats what i thought i just didnt want to go and swap them then boom, it blows and start bending the guts and stuff. so i wil check it out, we have all 3 of them i just dont know anything really about timing yet, and i dont have a timing gun. but yep we'll take it slow but i looked around there earlier and found it looked pretty easy. thanks for the straight answers

 

all you need is a 10,12,14mm socket a 12mm wrench and flat head screwdriver to change them all

 

have a kinda stupid question, i was looking and looking and i cant find what my mind has it put to look like ....the belt tensioner where is it? its like waldo is hidding behind the bushs in there.

any hints?......... thanks for the right sizes and everything helps a ton to have tools lined up waiting to touch the body

 

heheh there is none its all sepr. tensioned belts...the ac belt you need a long ext. and a 10mm socket......the power steering you need same sometimes a wingednut...and alt you need a 12mm and 14mm and flathead
