It’s a 19mm, I don’t know if someone messed with your tensioner or not, but
that’s the size for the tensioner. You can ask the anyone who works with
Toyota, they’ll tell you that’s the size for it.
Its not 19mm ive tried a 17mm and it keeps stripping
haha no problem! thanks for watching, glad you replaced the belt without a
problem.
thanks! did this in about 15 minutes once I had the right tools. my father
said to buy the guy that helped you a beer or two! so if you are in my
town, give me a shout!
thanks for letting us know, we have small hands so it was okay for us haha.
Plus we do this all the time.
Thank you for the vid. It really helped. Very tight space to get in, I
removed and rolled the windshield washer res. out of way and that helped
some.
Lol! Thank you! We really appreciate it!
This was a really helpful video. It was great how you showed theο»Ώ belt
routing on the diagram midway through. Having a 19mm socket and a long
extension is probably the hardest part – I just ended up using a cheater
bar and a standard wrench.
I have a 2001 with just 15k miles. It belonged to my elderly aunt now she
sold it to me. The belt has tiny horizontal cracks on the ribs…question
is..should I replace it. Thanks
Yes you are right, today’s Toyota is all electronic hybrids. Harder to fix
than before unfortunately but a gas saver.
I agree! π
Great video straight to the point and the quality was very good too. You
get a like and a new subscriber. =D
its possible with the right tools…i just had a 12 inch breaker bar,that
wasnt to heavy,which could explain why,it was harder then usual..to pull
back….if its your first time doing it,it will be tough..but iv done it on
other cars,scion tc was the stiffest…but awesome video…..
I am just about to hit 180K miles. I used to drive it a lot more, but I
moved closer to work. Other than spark plugs, brakes, and a starter, all
parts are OEM. I don’t think today’s Toyotas have the same build quality as
they did in the 1990s, unfortunately.
i just did my friends scion….the hydralic tension was very stiff,not a
one person job,he held the tension back,while i slip on the belt
If you like to save money on gas, then do get the Prius. The only bad side
to getting a Prius is the only thing you can do yourself on the
maintenance, is the air filters, oil change, transmission fluid, and spark
plugs. Most of the other maintenance like the brake fluids, front and rear
brakes, you’ll have to bring it to the dealer for service because they use
their Tech Stream to have the Prius in a certain mode for them to service
it. I have the 2012 Toyota Prius, so yeah… π
Cool vid
If there is signs of cracks on the belt, I suggest on replacing it as soon
as you can, if the belt breaks due to the crack, you’ll be out of a driving
vehicle.
I think the newer car’s are a little stiffer, but its possible to do it as
a 1 person job since Toyota technicians do it as a 1 person job. Just gotta
work those arm muscles! π
Thanks! Also you can google “Toyota serpentine belt tool”, they should come
up with the right tool for you π hope that helps.
I just used this video for a quick reminder on locating the tensioner, but
I found it to be the only video that got straight to the point and did not
tell me to remove the front passenger side wheel to get to the belt. For
that you get a like and a favorite.
Good to know – hopefully I won’t be replacing the belt on this car again,
considering it’s gone almost 15 years on the OEM belt.
Lol no problem!
I did this by myself, I just had my other buddy hold the camera.
My 2002 corolla just hit 200K miles and I’m thinking about upgrading to a
Prius. Do you not recommend newer Toyotas anymore? I’ve only owned two cars
in my lifetime one 1989 Corolla and a 2002 Corolla (still working just
fine). It would be disappointing of new Toyotas can’t last me as long as
these two Corollas did π
Thanks
did you do this by yourself or had a extra hand
Thanks this helped me a lot, after this gotta change valve cover gasket.
Wow that is along time, I assume you don’t drive it often? It’s recommended
between 80-120k.
