- Have done a quick video showing the replacement of the drive belt, tensioner pulley and idler pulley on a 2012 Toyota Kluger/highlander.
My first time doing a video like this so feedback is welcome :) I’m not a mechanic either but just like having a go by doing things myself.
Hopefully it helps some others out by having a go yourself.
If this was your first time doing a videe like this, we have all been missing out! Awesome video: very well shot, clearly explained and illustrated. NO BS music or wasted time. Excellent! Thank you Luke
Thanks, yea it was my first one. I have been thinking about doing some more basic ones too
Thank you! Your video saved me so much time searching foe the parts, swapping both pullies and a new belt killed the squeaking
Great video. Have done this exactly the same a number of times on numerous highlanders from 2008 to 2011. To the point where it takes 10 minutes now and don't even need to jack the car or take wheel off.
Do you know if this will work on a 2015 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5
Do you think that would apply to a 2006 Toyota Estima? It's looks pretty crowded there.
@@bobbygentry1091should be pretty similar
@@XYJ-eBay would be fine
@@sgameirojryea should be pretty similar to do
I just got an estimate for this job At Jiffy's, they asking $1200 😂😂😂 thank you very much for this video
Simple and to the point! Thanks for the vid.
Excellent video,just pick up a pulley from the dealer,it works
Great vidio mate well explained. I have to do my 2009 kluger im hoping its the same.got a quote from toyota for 530 dollers for the belt and tensioner pully supplied and fitted .not including idler pully .i owe you a few cold ones cheers steve
Thanks for the techniques! much appreciated 👍
Great video. Unfortunately Toyota doesn't sell the tensioner pulley on it's own
my 2014 3.5l 2gr-fe sounds like a diesel and thought I had direct injection but I dont it is port injection but it runs great very smooth.
It has 80k miles now but sounded noisy something like this when I bought it w/67k.
I will definitely do this at 100k belt change just for insurance.
Awesome vid!
Excellent work. This is the best video I can find showing every detail to carry out the work.
One quick question, how did you identify the noisy bearing? There are several bearings at this position, AC, WP et. al. My car is also very noisy at this position, a metal clicking noise. Any ideas to identify the noisy one? And is it the same procedure to replace the AC bearing? Thanks
I sprayed a bit of WD40 on the bearings one at a time to see if it stopped the noise. Don’t spray it on the belt though. And to confirm which one was faulty I removed the belt and spun the pulleys by hand to find the noise. With the engine off of course. The AC bearing would be abit more work as I believe you may have to remove the ac compressor and press the pulley and bearing out.
Great video, thanks!!!
Is it possible access the drive belt and to do it without removing the wheel? Have you tried replacing the drive belt without removing the wheel and without jacking up the car? I'm thinking of just turning the steering wheel so that the wheel is fully turned right (outward).
@@thekuanger should be able to access it but it will be a lot tighter to get to it.
how much did it cost you for the parts?
Excellent
What’s the torque rating on the idler pulley?
Not sure sorry I did it tight
Thank you!
well Explained
Is it required to change pullies?
These ones had noisy bearings
Is the tensioner pulley and idler pulley same fit even though different part numbers
Slightly different from memory
@@luketaylor5502 I just changed my drive belt (gates) now its wobbling side to side on tensioner, do you think its the belt itself or tensioner pulley, I did not change the tensioner pulley when changing belt
Here's video ua-cam.com/users/shortsKnSrX39ZboA?feature=share
The tensioner has 2 6203-2RS bearings pressed into it. The idler pully has 1 6302RMX bearing pressed into it. If you switched them then one would be to close to the engine and the other pulley would be to far away from the engine. The serpentine belt would not fit correctly on the 2 pulleys.
What was the reason for changing replacing it?
The bearings were worn out and squealing
Be careful with the technique of hooking up two wrenches to rotate the tensioner pulley. They can snap lose and cause injury and/or very expen$$$ive damage to the tensioner… better to use the correct tool. In the U.S. O’Reilly Auto Parts will rent you the tool for free.
Thanks, I’m located down the bottom of Australia and the closest auto store is 120km round trip from me. Just made do with what I had
@@luketaylor5502 - what city
Crap. Left handed thread on the tensioner pully. Didnt know. Bought a kit to replace the surpentine beit, tensioner and ideler when i replaced the alternator but skipped the tensioner when i learned i had to remove the ac compressor to get the tensioner out so i just replaced the ideler. May go back and just do the the tensioner pully now that i know righty-tighty.
Lefty tightly. Lol
nice
Well, this work on a 2015 Toyota Highlander
Where can I order these parts, I hope someone can help me
My one is 2015 Kluger, should fits? Isn’t it, thanks
Your Toyota Highlander air filter video is wrongly categorized as “Made for Kids”. May be limiting views, etc
@@JohnnayG thanks mate I’ll try and change it
If you’re replacing the belt, why not just cut the old belt and pull it off? Spent a lot of time trying to get that old belt off.
Your fkn stupid
So cut and place belt back on as well???
😂
@eoe6270 you can but you want to relieve the tensioner pressure first. It'll be a bit exciting if you cut the belt without doing that.
