I am a retired mechanic. These cars were out for only a couple of years before I retired and I never had a chance to put a belt on one. This is about the most incredible videos that I've seen and so accurate. I have already done one after I retired and I know it is a long job and now I'm getting ready to do my second one. It's been awhile since I've done one and I'm glad you are refreshing my mind because I am 60 years old and still messing with cars but not as much. A lot of people out there don't understand how hard it is for us mechanics to work on cars and we try to get them done as quick as we can without harming our self. Thank you so much for this video's

Thank you kindly for the vids on this. Main problem I have had so far is getting that pully off. Regular 3 jaw pullers just don't seem to cut it, main problem being keeping a straight pull. Tried for 2 days with regular pullers, so a word of advice, just go get a loaner or buy the Chrysler specific one. Even with it I was starting to worry about it coming off, but it did the trick.

This is bar none, the best instruction video if have found to be worth watching. I'm not an ASE certified mechanic, but i have common sense enough to try pretty much anything, and do so. Being able to access information that, in some cases are only known by certified mechanics is priceless. Watching this mechanic is beyond priceless, do to the fact that he knows how to explain things without continuously repeating himself. Very thorough and direct. I don't even own a Pt, I was checking to see what it all entailed for a friend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I probably wouldn't have attempted this without your very comprehensive video. The repair was time consuming, but a complete success thanks. The straight edge part gave me some trouble, using a brightly colored string worked really well.

thanks for such a descriptive video! all the posts on this particular car and job absolutely none of them are as clear as this guy! mentioning bolt size really helped me out my mess back together after my organization got messed right up.

Thank you that is what i did, i finally got it. I'm putting everything back together now. i appreciate you knowledge and help. you're videos are great.

Muy buena información. Very good info. Thanks. Gracias.

Hey thanks so much for these videos I'm having to change water pump on an 02 pt 2.4 and going to also do timing belt this has helped me so much. I was just needing to know where to put the jack with the block of wood under the motor to support it? I def don't want to put it in the wrong place and mess something up. Could you please help me out with that? I'd be even more grateful. Again thank you for taking the time to show us this without expecting money. its people like you that help out so many of us that can't afford taking it to a mechanic and paying hundreds if not thousands. I'm not a mechanic but every car and truck I've owned i do most the fixing if something breaks and i do all maintenance to keep them running. This video is by far the best one in you tube explaining this fix. Thanks again man

I'm at that point now and will check with the local auto parts stores today to see if they have this in their loaner program. If not, found it on Amazon by searching for B000P6UT2I So far, the job is going well.

This guy is a good mechanic. You probably wont experience one as good as he is, so be prepared for cutting corners. There is a very good chance if your paying for a water pump and timing belt job you will only get the timing belt done in some shops. By the time the water pump fails you wont be able to prove it was never replaced and the shop only loses a customer. They have plenty more so they dont worry about it. Or you sell the vehicle (remaining one of their customers) and the new owner gets a water pump failure and has to pay for the timing belt to be replaced once again taking off pretty new parts and replacing them once again with brand new ones. The new mechanic is going to "assume" the pump failure was caused by high miles recommending belt and pump replacement. Seeing the fairly new parts once getting it opened up, believing they just faired well for as many miles the car has on it. Of course, unless you have receipts from the previous owner, then it is possible to save a little money. Not much, just the cost of new parts in comparison to labor. People dont like to let receipts go now because of personal information contained. All because the job was never completed, to begin with. I'm about to tear into one now with a noise under the cover. !0 to 1 this is going to be the case. People sometimes pay for the job and get none of it done. Then, there is just plain neglect. 0_o

3:15 and then you're want to...... BRRRRRRRAAAAAAP don't forget to take BRRRRRRAAAPP and the BRRRRRRAAAAP

First off, love your videos for all the mopar vehicles I work on. Your videos along with alldata are my guru/bible when it comes to repairs. In regards to the video, so you need to support the engine with a jack and wooden block when removing the T55 center mount bolt, but then afterwards, you show yourself removing the balancer without the engine supported. So does it need to be mmmmm remain supported or just for the removal of the T55 bolt?

Also I'bought this car from an elderly couple about a year ago and the man told me he had a new timing belt put on right before i bought it. I've prob put 15 to 20k miles on it since then. I've looked and it does look good so should i just change the water pump?

Hi, i have a 2002 voyager, and its been timmed incorrectly by PO. I am going to attempt to rectify that. I have the proper puller for the balancer, what would you suggest to stop the engine rotating when i remove the balancer bolt? Also, are there any tricks i need know about specific to a voyager? Thanks Joel PS love the detail in your videos, it always helps.

loosening the two trans mount bolts will give u an extra 1/2 inch or so wiggle room

what kind of puller do you have? I have been looking for one like that

My GOD... what manner of "design" is this???

Great video. Thank you. I'm led to understand that the crank pulley on this car is pressed on real tight. I want to buy a 3 jaw puller from Amazon or Ebay. Will a normal 3 jaw puller be ok or do I need some kind on heavy duty puller? The pullers come in different sizes measured in inches. I would appreciate if you could tell me what inch size puller I need to buy. I'm in the UK and to my knowledge we do not have " loan a tool" providers as you have in the States.

Large bracket 15mm

So the Freon is just the from the AC lines... it doesn't affect the engine cooling - correct. The reason it was evacuated and the lines removed was for access reasons - is that correct? (That is, if all put back together and hooked up but Freon not added, only the AC would be affected?

nice style He assumes you're not an idiot and have done complex work before.

15 mm.bolts are on the lsrge bracket ..2005 pt.2007 not 18mm

A pt cruiser without cruise?

so if I don't have an impact strong enough and have to use a ratchet how do I keep the balance wheel from turning

hi question is that a special puller for Chrysler for the crank pulley

Is this a fairly reliable car in your opinion? Or should I sell it to get an suv? Mine has 80,000 miles on it now. I mean besides this repair are these good cars? I have a 2003 gt turbo. Thanks

hello im stuck on the plate with the 3 15mm bolts and power steering pump. every time i jack the engine up the plate is pinned up against the frame. what im i doing wrong?

I don't have a impact..used a breaker bar to get the bolt off the crankshaft pulley..now it's spinning when I use the 3 jaw puller...any tips?

is it okay if I will disconnect the battery? I kinda worried if there are any security features in it and it will affect after connecting it. Like lock doors will malfunction, radio won't turn on, anything like that.

I hate this job don't sell yourself short when estimating this job!!! as a flat rate tech I would not do it for less than $850 + in labor this job totally sucks!!

The reason I drive a Buick. I would have had my water pump replaced 15 times by now. German engineers were behind the design of this car. No thanks. Fords and GM’s only the best. I prefer stick with the best American cars.

That's why it's called a sh...y car.
