You never showed putting the serpentine belt on... I know you said you were talking to a customer but you skip that last part and how difficult it is to get the alternator back on also the serpentine belt
@Anonymous Heart Thanks I know you said it's been a while but did you flush the system? Or did you just pull the pump out let whatever drained out drain installed and put new coolant? Did you burp it after?
Hi There I saw you use flex head ratchet with 14 MM socket and you easily loose the tension from tensioner and remove the belt. I have 2009 camry and cannot use flex head ratchet with my 14 MM socket. Have to work around wrench and for me it's kind of touch job. Appreciate if you can share what's your socket depth/part number or anything and what kind of flex head ratchet you used? Also what's the year of your camry?
Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you was able to get it done. The Ratchet is a Snap-on and it's just a standard short socket. Harbor Freight sells a thin flex head ratchet that have 3/8" on one end and 1/4" on the other end that'll work great.
Awesome job man !! How long did it take you ? Because almost every mechanic shop are charging a labor fee for 3-4hrs I’m like hell naw!!! There’s gotta be a better way
@@Repairsbyctop God bless you🙏 thanks man, great content! I was like if there’s a will there’s a way im not gonna pay no mechanic shop up 500$ for labors especially if I have the tools as well they can keep that !! I Greatly appreciate this video !
Good job. According to the manufacturer of the water pump, AISIN, you're not supposed to put the sealant in the groove but on the exterior. Check their video out: ua-cam.com/video/CToF0YsAZyM/v-deo.html Also, better to use a plastic scraper than a metal one to avoid gouging the surface of the engine where the water pump goes.
Dude I'm working on it as we speak... At 10 minutes in this video what you're trying to do to get those four bolts off I can't get these mother f****** off man really pissing me off and I'm trying to be patient
I just saw your reply. You have to try to hold the pulley by prying a screwdriver between two of the bolts or one bolt and the section of shaft that sticks out in the center of the bolts while you loosen one of the other two bolts. It's easier to do this with the belt still on.
@@Repairsbyctop I found a better way using a super huge big pair of pliers and it was able to grab the Polly on the sides with those pair of big pliers... and then used a wrench to get off the bolts... So it worked out but now I can't get the damn alternator back on LOL so I quit for the day and I'm going to finish it tomorrow and then... I have the challenge of putting on the serpentine belt LOL Not looking forward to sweating my ass off straining in frustration and getting bit by flies and eaten by mosquitoes SMH but whatever it is what it is next time I'm just going to hire mechanic to do it somebody was already experienced... But I appreciate your videos and other people's videos that teach people how to do repairs:-) thank you for your time
Bro great video, very calm way of explaining I dig it and was able to replace my water pump on my 2011 Camry no problems.... Great work!!!
What did you torque the bolts to on your 2011 water pump?
I think the torque is 8lbs but I always snug them till I feel them stop turning.
Thank you for making a video to help people. You've helped me out.
Great video!!! Being as that I own two Toyotas with the 2.4, I'll probably have to do this repair at some point. Video was very helpful!
Should be an easy repair for you.
Please like the video and subscribe to my channel.
love your calm demeanor! subscribed liked rang thebell
you may work on my car anytime....
when i'm not able
Good old time mechanikin!
Good stuff! I’ll be tackling mine tomorrow. Torque to stop!
You can use an Allen key to stop the pulley from moving while taking the bolts off, stick it into the slot.
Thanks man your video was very helpful. Nice work
good job,but i did notice what looked like a sliver of metal in side the car side housing when you installed the new pump.....
Good catch.
Looks to be a piece of old gasket material.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate very much!
Well done and thank you for doing this! BIG help!
Is best to leave the belt on first to remove the bolts
You're correct.
You should loosen the water pump bolt before you remove the belt it would be easier for you just a suggestion
You never showed putting the serpentine belt on... I know you said you were talking to a customer but you skip that last part and how difficult it is to get the alternator back on also the serpentine belt
Helped so much!
I'm happy it helped you.

Doing the second replacement on my 07 Camry 🥹
Replaced and she's up and running smoothly again
@@anonymousheart3827 How much coolant do you add after?
@rodm2345 don't quote me, it's been a bit but I believe it took a full large bottle of pink Toyota approved coolant.
@Anonymous Heart Thanks I know you said it's been a while but did you flush the system? Or did you just pull the pump out let whatever drained out drain installed and put new coolant? Did you burp it after?
Would you happen to know what the water house that runs from the rear thermostat hub I believe to the water pipe in the back. Sort of an L shape hose.
I'm not sure without the vehicle in front of me at this moment.
Could be a bypass hose or heater hose.
Please remember to crank the vehicle first before pouring the coolant, so you won't pop the head gasket
That only applies if the engine is hot.
Next time pull the pulley bolts first before taking off the belt
Thanks. Great

what tool was that to get the alt
I used a ratchet to break the bolts lose first then I used a electric ratchet to quickly get the bolts out.
Awesome job man !! How long did it take you ? Because almost every mechanic shop are charging a labor fee for 3-4hrs I’m like hell naw!!! There’s gotta be a better way
It took me about 45 minutes.
Not a hard job at all.

Not much working room, but you got the job done!
My camry had a 15 mm on tensioner
👍
when taking off the alternator do you have to disconnect the battery?
Or can i do it with that on
You should disconnect the battery.
I didn't because I didn't want to reset the system and I was careful.
@@Repairsbyctop got it thank you.
Also great video sir truly enjoyed the calmness and taking it step by step.
thank you!!

Disconnect battery might be needed to.just in case.you don't wanna burn any fuse.
