Thank you for taking the time to make this video. My wife has a 2000 Accent and it died one day... we came to realize we had underestimated the life of the timing belt. I decided to change the belt myself before taking it somewhere. I watched your video and it was very helpful, with only a couple minor differences on the 2000 model. Happy ending--because we were driving so slowly and it died suddenly, there was apparently no serious damage. It has been running fine ever since, only a $35 fix!!

I'm stuck on the lower crank shaft pully removal, I've tried a 13/16 socket, on a 1/2 impact drive but the socket started to spin, as it was the wrong size..Does anyone know the size of that bolt? I don't have a set, and buying them by themselves are quite expensive and I don't have the cash set aside to purchase a set...Thanks!!

any advice for trying to get the water pump pully off? The four 10m bolts are being quite a bitch trying to remove. I don't have the luxury of using air tools, so i'm working with just a ratchet. It's quite difficult to keep the pully still while trying to remove the bolts. I've sprayed some pb blaster, yet I doubt they're really sticking shut anyways...I'm just a mechanic noob trying to fix my gf's car for her.

That's a nice video, John. With you coming from a pro working place, it must be awkward trying to do this with your home tools in the driveway. You guys who split your tools in two places have extra frustration. But, for the DIY viewer, it's also cool to see that it's not all about tools, it's about confidence and experience.
