access in the Sedona looks even worse than the XG's.
I can't even imagine replacing the accessory drive belt on my Sonata.
It appears that the clearance between the body and the pulleys is about
1.5"! The Sonata seems to have a fair bit of room in front of and
behind the engine, but little on the pulley end of the engine. If one
had to remove a drive pully, I don't think there is even room to get a
socket on the nut or bolt. A combination wrench will fit, but it is
hard to install a nut or bolt to a given torque using a combination wrench!
Fortunately, I can now afford to hire most of my repair work done, but I
still do my own basic maintenance and enjoy doing repairs when I have
the proper tools and time.
