This timing belt replacement video provides you stepbystep instructions on performing a schedule belt replacement service on the the Honda J32 V6 engine commonly found in the Accord and Acura TL. The service interval is 105K miles or 8 years; which ever comes first. In addition to the belt replacement, we will be replacing, as part of preventative maintenance, the water pump and guide and tensioner pulleys. Other Honda vehicles that share this V6 engine configuration are the MDX, RDX, RL, RLX, Crosstour, Odyssey, Pilot, Vue and Ridgeline. The J32 timing belt component kit can also be used on the J35.

Unless you have a powered impact tool used with 19 mm high mass impact socket, removing the harmonic balancer bolt is next to impossible. Honda crank pulley holders don't work either. I actually bent one.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts providers for the timing belt components are Mitsuboshi (timing belt), Aisin (water pump), Koyo (idler and tensioner bearings). If you obtain a timing belt kit from the dealer, the parts in their kit are provided by these manufacturers.

If you have no prior experience replacing a timing belt, expect to spend anywhere between 6 to 8 hours to complete the job.

Replacement of the water pump will release coolant from the engine block. This would be a good time to change out the coolant from the radiator which would constitute a complete fluid exchange.
