Detailed step by step guide on replacing your timing belt and water pump on your 4.7L Toyota or Lexus. This truck is a 2005 Tundra but should be very close to a Lexus of the same vintage.

When you did the step of turning the crankshaft clockwise off the timing mark before the belt removal that is contrary to what the Toyota FSM specifies to do. They actually say to turn the crankshaft 50 degrees counterclockwise before removing the belt. Where did you get your information on turning the crankshaft clockwise off the timing mark rather than counterclockwise? The instructions I got were from the Toyota Tech Info website for a 2008 GX470.
**Update – I just looked at the FSM instructions for a 2005 Tundra and your step of advancing the timing mark to point at the idler pulley bolt is correct. So this step is model and year dependent I guess.
Which specific year and vehicle was this done on? Some small things are different between years and makes on 4.7.
Phucken awesome video man. I changed my timing belt and water pump but made 5x mistakes and check engine light has been on for last 2020 year. my smog is up in 34 days. needed this video to teach me correct mistakes.

Please help I just got a timi g belt installed .I noticed about a month later when I took off the timing cover that the arrows was not pointing towards the radiator.i stead they was facing towards the the front window .WILL THE DAMAGE ANY THING PLEASE HELP BEFORE I KEEP DRIVING IT
Great video Sir, Would you happen to have a list of tools and sockets used?
That 12 mm bolt on the compressor beside the a/c line i used a six point crow's foot and a U joint socket adapter then a ratchet and it worked perfectly, i was so afraid to use just a box end wrench and strip the thing. I am currently working on my 06 and so far so good thank you so much buddy.
instructions for my 2004 Sequoia recommends timing belt must be removed at TDC and not advanced by 50 degrees but I understand there is variation depending on year of vehicle
Just did this service myself. When you get to 12:30 DO NOT unmount the AC compressor from the mounting bracket. Just undo the 3 bracket bolts depicted at 16:18 and take the entire compressor off with the bracket. One of the 3 bolts is obscured by another bracket which you have to take off (depicted at 12:02). Do not take off the bolt at 12:15 as that holds the compressor to the bracket. You will have to take off the philips head bolt on top of the compressor to free the wiring harness (depicted at 14:40). This way you don't have to mess around with evacuating the AC system because the metal hose is in the way. There is also no worry about stripping the bolt using an open ended wrench. The factory service manual even tells you to take the 3 bracket bolts off.
Other than that, great video! My Tundra is purring like a kitten.
Awesome, thank you for your time.
I have the same big impact wrench he couldn't fit between the frame and the crankshaft bolt. I managed to use an impact rated universal joint socket to give me the slight bend i needed to get around it and take off the bolt. Worked like a charm, hope this helps someone save some time and money.
Nice video thanks!! How long did it take you?? Maybe 4 hours?
