Awesome video! Part # references are a huge plus 👍 the pictures of the belt layout and torque specs are also a huge plus 👍 It’s those little things that make these DIY videos like this such a huge help for us all.

Haha! Loved the emphasis on the click for the torque wrench :) so satisfying

Looks like my 2005 Tacoma, thank you for this video. I appreciate the explanation of the dowel pin, torque specs, and all the details.

thankyou for the video, just found no.2 top right, next to alternator was alittle loose and was hearing squealing noise so jump in the engine and found that one was alittle wobbly. If thats not the problem then atleast i found it.

Great vid ! Helped me change my pulleys

Toyota recommend to replace the entire belt tensioner assembly when replacing the belts and pulleys. Usually around 100k miles. Rock Auto sells all these parts as a kit or separately.

Dude this video helps a lot!! Thank you

Great video sir. Will be doing this job soon.

Great video! I will do mine soon

Thanks for the video and advice, plus the part numbers, will help me a lot, just heard some squeal this morning.

Have some fun replace the tensioner too, you’ll luv it!!

Great job 👍!!

thanks sir good job

Thank you sir for video!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Excellent video! Do you know for a 5th Gen 4Runner do you have to remove anything beyond skid plates to gain access?

How did you get the tensioner pulley it self off clockwise or counter clockwise on the bolt and what is the torque on it. Thanks. Well i just answered my own question the tensioner pulley bolt uses left hand threads so you loosened it clockwise so you so you tighten it counterclockwise. For anyone that doesn't know one can remove the pulleys and go to a bearing supply house and they will mach that bearing exactly just make sure to get a sealed bearing. It will be way cheaper than the auto parts store price and good quality bearings. Only thing its from a bearing house you'll get just the bearing which means you'll have to press or tap bearing out and the one on.

thank you sir you are a badass

Thanks

Thank you!

Awesome video thanks 👍. What year is your fj?

I just stumbled across your video bud. What brackets are you using for your seats? And what steering wheel hub are you using?

Great video man I'm about to do my serpentine belt but will probably change the police later on down the year

Any particular reason why you added a washer to the 36173 on top of the insert? Is that standard practice and is it still running good? Awesome content btw!

How did it go? I'm getting a horrid screechling/squealing noise out of my 4Runner 4.0 after it rains. Is yours holding up well? Mines an 03 and was wondering if I would need to replace the entire tensioner

I'm replacing mine today and my idler pulley number 2 was doing the same thing

Big Thank you from saudi arabia i see your video and i change the belt using your diagram really thank a lot but why you change the pully there is sound

So did the groaning from the steering wheel turn go away when you replaced all the pulleys?

What year is your FJ? And how many miles? I just bought a 2013 trai with 80k miles, belt needs replacing, but not sure about the pulleys

Is it common for an alternator to whine after install? It's a "new" reman with lifetime warranty. I installed the alt yesterday on my 4runner (same engine as FJ), and now im retracing why a new alt would be whining. Had no noises with old alt, pulleys or serp. belt. Only thing I changed is alt BC it no longer charged.

Kinda disappointed you didn't actually replace the idler tensioner fully. Watched the video for that and you chose the shortcut route. Bravo

great video man!!! any chance to order just the pulley(tensioner) without whole bracket? do you know something about that?(part number,etc)?

Any chance you saved the tensioner pulley bearing to see if it had a part number to reference or measure it? I would like to buy just the bearing and press it in. Is it the same as either idler pulley 1 or 2 by chance? Thanks

And what kind of seats do you have in your Tacoma now are they durable

for 04 4 runner the tension pully is on the right side! forshure take some pics before u do this! easy to fuck up

Tried to listen to the noise of your pulleys made but the music was too loud!

where do these amateurs come from? using the allen key so it doesn't rotate too far? LMAO. use the allen to lock the tensioner in the loose position to remove/install. derp
