Changing Belts need help
I have felt various power loss and rough idles along with a slight tapping noise. Various members listened and Chrism told me its probably the belts:bowdown:
My question is what's the best way to replace the belts. I saw the DIY for the AP pulley install. But I am not sure if that works for this as well to replace the power steering and alternator belts thanks |
I've noticed(never changed the belts) but taking the stock airbox out give you pretty easy access to the belts

I changed my belts while installing the AP pulley.
Not hard at all. These are from the service manual: Attachment 142403 Attachment 142404 |

How does one know they need new belts? The belt "looks" fine to me. I'm at 86,000km.

In the service manual, it says to adjust tension the bolt C to a certain torque spec. Are they tightening it to the some tension on the belt itself, or so I just set the bolt C's torque and stop when it clicks?
Mazda seems to have some sort of belt tension test tool that applies force downwards onto the belt, I don't have a tool like that. |
I change the belts when their are signs of cracks or they are tight and they still squeal. I don't have a tool to test the tension, but I just go by feel for how tight it is.
