- 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT AWD w/Tech
Well the mechanic was able to get the water pump belt on no problem using a lift! Cost me $108 for labor, but that's OK as it's done now.
My CX-5 has 81,412 miles on as of right now. I purchased it in August 2013 when it was still in transit from the Port of Entry. Delivered with less than 3 miles on the odometer.
These are the https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) that I have and used. Used the 17mm from below for the tension release and the 12mm from below to break loose the bottom bolt. Standard 12mm box/open combo wrench from the top for removing the nut and further loosening of the bottom bolt. I used a standard 21mm socket and socket wrench to turn the crank pulley when I needed to.
Total DIY (mostly) cost:
Rock Auto with 5% discount code - tensioner, serpentine belt and water pump belt - $101.28 incl. tax
Mechanic's labor to install water pump belt (he's good, but not cheap!) - $107.98
Grand total: $209.26
