    • @TheMechaninition
      @TheMechaninition 2 місяці тому

      You just have to muscle it all the way loose and use your other hand to slip the belt off of the easiest pully to reach. Or have some one else ready to slip it off of a pully while you loosen the tensioner.

    As a former Tacoma owner, everything on this truck is a PITA. From oil changes, to transmission changes, to coolant, etc etc. It's as if it was designed to be purchased and then discarded with when the fluids have run their course.

    • @TheMechaninition
      @TheMechaninition 10 днів тому

      They want you to bring it back to the dealer so they can keep getting your money. That's unfortunately how most if not all of these companies work these days. They want the independent shops and owners nearly unable to do simple services.

    What socket did you use to take out the alternator studs?

    Excellent video. Just curious what was the price on this job? I ask because the bolt of the idler pully sheared off so now I gotta take the alternator off to get whats left the bolt out. Then replace the pully and belt. I figure i can spend what I save at a shop on tools.

    • @TheMechaninition
      @TheMechaninition 6 місяців тому

      Not sure on the price. This was a friends vehichle and didn't look up labor times. But for an alternator replacement typically 1-2hr around a $100 hr is an average price at a small shop at least in my area

    Only thing I would add is there's really no reason to remove the big cowling piece that goes around the front of the engine compartment, it doesn't give you any added room that is useful for getting the alternator out.

    Rinse your hoses out with a bit of coolant/ water. then slip it on while it's still wet. otherwise, pretty good. Oh, well, don't get fluid on your hands/ on the outside of the hose. super slippery then.
