1999 Mazda Miata 1.8 L timing belt and water pump remove replace

1999 Mazda Miata 1.8 L timing belt and water pump remove replace. Not too bad of a job to do this Mazda Miata timing belt or water pump. The water pump was a little more involved that I thought, but it is what it is. You may consider getting a new valve cover gasket for this Mazda Miata job, especially if you see any oil inside where the spark plugs go.

Seriously, your video helped out big time. Its nice to see someone that is able to hold the camera steady and talk into the mic. So often I try to watch tutorials and the camera is pointing at the sky, and I can barely hear the person speaking.

@rickkristin Glad to help. I actually got a new camera and the aim is different, and I have noticed some of my shots are showing nothing helpful to anyone! Re-do! Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the video:)! I was wondering how long does it take to do the timing belt and water pump? Thanks

[Autotechviewpoint]

@mysteryimpt  Estimating - I would say doing it for the 1st time 3-4 hours (with the right tools at least).

[mysteryimpt]

@Autotechviewpoint Ah! one more question. What tools MUST be handy while doing the job? Since I only got one car and thats my lovely Miata thanks:)!

[Autotechviewpoint]

@mysteryimpt Ahhhh.... good question. Honestly I don't really remember all the tools that I used. That has been so long ago already... :( I am trying to add that kind of info into more videos... You should really have a good set of all 3 sets of sockets, preferably in metric for the newer cars. 1/2 in. 3/8 in. and 1/4 drive socket sets in metric. I think the toughest part on timing belt jobs is removing crankshaft pulley. Breaker bar and a way to hold engine or pulley...HTH
