2011 crv has 90k on it. bought a replacment serp belt to change it. holy smokes its tight in there. i bought a belt tool and it seems impossible to get in there . after a few minutes of thought i decided to pull the engine mount. put my jack under the engine and lifted it up a little to remove some weight off the mount.
zipped all the bolts off with my impact and then there was plenty of space to do everything . 15 mins later i was done .

so how do the honda techs do it? i saw a diagram showing it done under the car.

yeah i watched all the vids i could find . i tried it that way and after messing with it i found just removing the mount easier. less than 5 mins to remove the mount.
