Thanks! This is the only one that is correct for the 2010 Camry XLE 2.5L engine. It has 2 drive belts and almost all the diagrams, videos and discussions obtained via a Google search only shows one serpentine belt.
That’s exactly what I was going to say, I have a 2010 xle 4 cyL and all the videos only show the single serpentine belt Thanks for the video very helpful
You are an exceptional instructor. Thank you for creating this video. I am going to try to replace my belts now on my 2010 Toyota Camry. The car has almost 400,000 miles on the original set of belts. I successfully changed both belts. I tried to follow all directions and the job took me a little over an hour it was a bit tedious but I got it done. On he outer belt I had to install the crankshaft pulley before pushing it over the smaller pulley. I almost thought my new belt was too small. Thanks again for creating this video. My the Lord bless you
Thanks, JerveyIT; hope the video helps. Newer belts mean quicker response time and better gas mileage and should be replaced at the 100k interval. Glad those old belts haven't snapped on you yet. Good luck with the swap out!
This is the best video I have seen yet on replacing the serpentine belts on a Camry. The outer belt installation was the bigger challenge of the two, because the clearances are tighter. Take your time and be patient, and it's not that bad. Maybe 1.5 hour job for me, start to finish. I found I only had to use one 14mm wrench, but it doesn't hurt to use two. This video helped me replace the belts on my 2011 2.5L Camry. Liked and subscribed! Thanks!
@@MilitarizedCitizen good to hear that you’re still in business here. This was super helpful, after seeing other videos that left me needing clarity. Subscribed. Sincere thanks.
This video is a life saver! Showing how you put the 2nd belt on and putting the 14 mm wrench on the tensioner pulley FROM THE BOTTOM saved me big time! I used 2 wrenches exactly like you did in this video. The only difference is I connected the belt to the lower right pulley last because it was easiest for me to reach from the bottom. Thanks a million!!!
great video, I replaced belts on my 2010 Camry with 201k miles last weekend. Alternator belt (wider) has 2 cracks every inch or so. Water pump belt (narrow) has no cracks at all, still in great condition.
Great job at demonstrating how to do this job! Thanks for uploading it. I have the following question: the inner belt tensioner is easy enough to push it with my fingers and take off the belt. Is this normal? How to I diagnose a bad tensioner?
Thanks for the feedback, Oscar! I'd say that isn't normal. The tensioner should have a good amount of force required to remove the belt. If it doesn't, you could have belt slippage which would wear the belt sooner than normal and waste gas.
Great video! I just purchased a 2011 Camry w/105k miles. It's been well taken care of, but I don't believe the serpentine belts have been serviced. How many miles on the Camry that you did this service on?
I'm just wondering why you didn't use a serpentine belt tool instead of the 2 wrenches on the automatic tensioner pulley?? ... they're only like $45 in most auto parts stores (not sure if they do rentals on these or not) and if you wanna go cheaper, Harbor Freight has them for around $20.
@@MilitarizedCitizen Good point in showing how to do it with what you have (if you didn't have the serpentine belt tool) ... but for me I'd probably pick up one from Harbor Freight for $20 that way I can use it on my roommates 2010 Camry and my 07 Monte... but that's me though.
Great video, thank you. Why do you say "Approximate completion time: 3 hours" on a 8 min video? Is that meant for non-professionals? I know it cannot be done in 8 min and we may have to account for some unforeseen events? To me - it looks like a 1.5-2 hour job for someone who has done it more than once. What am I overlooking? I ask just for information and to be an informed customer. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! That's a great question. Mostly, that time is for the first-timer who hasn't done much auto work before. I'm a planner and realize that people should plan their work out so I don't want to give an unrealistic first-time completion time. That's about it.
Hi Kevin, I found them on Amazon. There are two belts, as shown in the video. Searching on a Toyota dealer website, you'll be able to find the exact part number and then look for them on Amazon.
It's always a good idea to disconnect the battery because you never know when a wrench might fall or you might hit a cable and cut it open (or one that's already cut open) - all issues that can cause shorts in the electrical system, creating more work and costing more money (and possible physical harm). Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe! 😉
I have a 2016 Camry 4 cyl. I used a 14 mm socket to move the tensioner pulley and slipped the belt on, water pump pulley last. It took 2 minutes. Labor from a mobile mechanic was quoted as $150.
@@futfut1It's no secret that you can save money doing repairs yourself. The mechanic is paying business expenses at the same time. You are fast, usually that is a bit over a half hour. I get $94.87 for that job, with tax. But, I won't come to you.
Hey Thomas. The reason I always disconnect the battery when working in the engine compartment is to ensure that no accidents happen. The last thing you need is for a metal wrench to drop out of your hands and connect the battery terminals, starting a fire and ruining an otherwise perfectly good weekend. 😜
I haven't been able to find one. Since there is no real way to take a picture unless the engine is removed from the car, it makes it difficult. I also haven't found much online. If I come across one, I'll send it your way.
@@MilitarizedCitizen 2010. I think i figured it out. They have one listed at 0.4 inches w/3 ribs and another at 0.6 inches w/4 ribs. I'm thinking that's the two I need.
I found this online: 1) Belt for alternator, water pump and air conditioning. Top width: 9/16" or 14mm. Length: 49-3/8" 2) Belt for hydraulic power steering. Top width: 7/16" or 11mm. Length: 47-3/4" And you are correct on the ribs. One has 3 and one has 4.
I would NOT recommend doing this for multiple reasons: 1) If the new belt(s) don't fit, you cannot put the old belt back on in order to use the vehicle, making the vehicle completely inoperable until you find the correct one. 2) You can break the tensioner pullies by allowing them to snap back when you cut the belt(s).

I'm guessing because the 2010-2011 Camry has a 2.5L engine, it has 2 Serpentine belt. I believe the 07-09 Camry 2.4L 4cyl has one Serpentine belt.

Hey John, simple answer is I didn't want to spend the money when I knew a trick from my old bike shop days. ;)
@@MilitarizedCitizen Good point in showing how to do it with what you have (if you didn't have the serpentine belt tool) ... but for me I'd probably pick up one from Harbor Freight for $20 that way I can use it on my roommates 2010 Camry and my 07 Monte... but that's me though.
For sure, John!
if you don't need the tool, why would you buy one? It's no easier.

im looking to get my serpentine belt replaced on my 2011 Toyota Camry how many belts does it have 1 or 2?

Where did you find these belts? Everyone is saying there is only one belt for the 2008 Camry SE 2.4
Hi Kevin, I found them on Amazon. There are two belts, as shown in the video. Searching on a Toyota dealer website, you'll be able to find the exact part number and then look for them on Amazon.
2008 Camry SE 2.4 has ONE drive belt but this video is a 2011 Camry 2.5 which has TWO drive belts
Just changed both belts, there's no need to remove that front tire, save some time, leave it on.
So I own a 2011 Toyota Camry 2.5 SE , the engine has a serpentine belt and what does the belt next to the serpentine belt go too?
This should help:
parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2011_Camry/63459481__6732767/V-BELT/283480-1605.html
Going to do this on my 2011 Camry LE. How often should this belt be changed? Also, what would be a fair price for labor if I have a mechanic do it?
I believe belts should be changed every 90-100,000 miles. I'm guessing it would cost around $250-300 in labor. Not sure tho.
@@MilitarizedCitizen Okay I'm due to change them then. Stealership wants $100 for labor..thought that seemed like a bit much
That doesn't sound too bad at all, cost-wise.
@@MilitarizedCitizen Yeah, not too bad, the two belts are like $30 together.
Yeah that's not bad at all.
Are the two belts the same size on Toyota Camry 2011 xle 2.5L?
No, they are two different sizes. Check the description of the video for links to the belts from Amazon.
Just wondering why you disconnected the battery??
It's always a good idea to disconnect the battery because you never know when a wrench might fall or you might hit a cable and cut it open (or one that's already cut open) - all issues that can cause shorts in the electrical system, creating more work and costing more money (and possible physical harm).

@@MilitarizedCitizen Okay thanks. And thanks for the video!

I have a 2017 and I was told you just loosen the tension and put the new belt on with this newer car.
I have a 2016 Camry 4 cyl. I used a 14 mm socket to move the tensioner pulley and slipped the belt on, water pump pulley last. It took 2 minutes. Labor from a mobile mechanic was quoted as $150.
Only one belt on the 2017 2.5, different animal

what are the names for the inner and outter belt?
Hello boss why we need to disconnect battery just curios. I’m guess change both belts around 100 k miles.

2011 camry le 2.5 have 1 or 2 belt ?
Hey Dani! Two - just like in the video. Links to OEM belts from Amazon are in the description of this video for ya.
@@MilitarizedCitizen thank ou
You're welcome! Good luck on the project. Let me know if you have any issues replacing your belts.
Will this same process apply to a 2005 toyota camry le 3.0?
It should be very similar.
So I just bought the 2 belts from Toyota hope it goes well
Do you have a diagram for the belts
I haven't been able to find one. Since there is no real way to take a picture unless the engine is removed from the car, it makes it difficult. I also haven't found much online. If I come across one, I'll send it your way.
What is the equivalent for non-Toyota belts?
Aaron, any local auto parts store should have their brand of belt that should work well.
@@MilitarizedCitizen They seemEd puzzled about the 2 belt system. Are the belts the same? Only 1 belt type was showing up on their computer.
That's odd. What year is your Camry? The two belts are not the same; one is larger than the other.
@@MilitarizedCitizen 2010. I think i figured it out. They have one listed at 0.4 inches w/3 ribs and another at 0.6 inches w/4 ribs. I'm thinking that's the two I need.

And you are correct on the ribs. One has 3 and one has 4.
is it the same on a 2003 camry
Yes. Very close to the same procedure.
Is this even legal mr to do this what you are showing here I just don't want to get my hands caught up inside of them pulleys this can be dangerous.
Be careful, Herbert!
Thanks, saves 200 dollars or more at a mech shop. I got a quote to change a thermostat on a 2004 dodge ram. 250 dollars !!! No thanks.
You're quite welcome! Glad you were able to save some cash. Thanks for watching!
If one needs to change the belt and not save it, just cut it. Then install a new belt.
I would NOT recommend doing this for multiple reasons:
1) If the new belt(s) don't fit, you cannot put the old belt back on in order to use the vehicle, making the vehicle completely inoperable until you find the correct one.
2) You can break the tensioner pullies by allowing them to snap back when you cut the belt(s).
It looks easy and confusing at the same time
That's exactly what it is! Haha
