Jim do u have the part # for the belt u used
I kept struggling to put the new belt on
Six sided socket? 19 mm, right?? Need to check if i have a 6 sided
Do you happen to know what the belt below that belt is called and how to replace that?
Cant see where the tensioner is
I own and have the 2.4 4CYL 2002 toyota/Solara, the bolt for the tension on that belt was messed up cause i used the 3/4 instead of the 9MM socket. now i cannot use that bolt anymore, the corners are too worn off, and i still need to put that belt back on, HOW? please, i need all the help that i can get, i am also at habeas7@gmail.com thank you. HOWARD [anyone please, this cannot be happening to me, it is like a nightmare]
bleh that's one job that looks worth the $100 to pay a mechanic to do I can't even see far enough in the engine to draw out a "schematic", plus the belt already snapped anyways
This took me about 30 minutes, as a first timer. Saved me a bunch of money. Takes a little bit of patience and the very helpful hint to warm up the replacement belt in the sun (I put it in a bag with a little bit of water and exposed it to the sun for a couple days) to make it much more pliable. To be doubly sure it was on the grooves correctly, I took of the front passenger wheel to ensure it was on correctly. Thanks so much for posting this. There are so many others posting the same end result by spending more time by unbolting a lot of unnecessary things. Just have a little patience and a long rod took care of this one.
The Camry 2011 engine 2AR-FE does it come with one drive belt or sett of 2 pec and what size
Could I use a universal joint socket (have) instead of a swivel head socket wrench (don’t have)?
Greetings from Ireland Jim and thanks for posting this. Apart from a little “knuckle rash” I had no problem following your video and doing the job.
I also watched video below were they replaced the tensioner. My 2005 camry with 140 k miles and several belt changes, I had to replace the tensioner because it mushed out on the 19 mm aluminum tab for the wrench. It was about due for a new tensioner any way. One important note I will add is to heat up the tensioner carefully with a torch and also put your belt in the oven at low heat. After all said and done I still had a hell of a time to get belt on as it was very tight.
Nice video, but fan belt ? Lol.
Wow 130k miles and now change the belt ! My Nissan Titan with 70k miles I and on the 2 one ! My next car will be camry for sure … lot of issue with my titan
When they remake Stephen King's , Christine, Jim needs to be in that movie. Jim is the only mechanic Christine likes… she kills every other rough mechanic. Love this channel.
My 2006 doesn't have a socket head, but rather takes a torx bit and there isnt enough clearance to even get a torx bit on the tensioner, so I'm not sure what to do. I'm guessing you have either an american or a canadian spec camry, but ours is imported from Japan!
