Here are some helpful tips for removing a 4.7L engine from a Tundra(2006 shown). Torque converter bolts are discussed. Part 2 will cover re-installation.
What is the reason for removing the green bolt first or last on the flex plate? I replaced my engine last summer and did not know about this, I just put them back on how ever they lined up....
There is some info saying it has a different thread pitch than the others but I didn't check. It is important to index everything correctly though if nothing else.
It should be pretty similar although easier because the engine is smaller and you don't have to do torque converter bolts, just unbolt the exhaust, motor mounts, and bell housing.
I really like your video man, I just Wonder what should I do with my AC do I just disconnect it and then I recharge it or is there a way to avoid that?
Hey there, how hard is it to reach the transmission bolts at the top behind the motor? I am going to be pulling the motor in a few weeks and am trying to decide whether or not to pull the tranny with it. Thanks.
I’m about to replace an engine on my 2005 tundra but the engine is seized. In this case I would have to pull the transmission with it, correct? Anybody have a link to some forum threads on this, or 2UZ-FE engine replacement in general?
@@Stickandstringoutdoors that would be best, although you could probably pull the engine and the torque converter out together but it will make a huge mess
Forgive my ignorance, in the video you referenced manufacturer specs for removing the engine. Where do I find these? Is it in the owners manual? Just bought a 03 sequoia. Previous owner said it needed o2 sensors. I think the engine has skipped time and may need to replace the engine. Thank you.
You will need access to manufacturer's repair info, most people get online repair data from Alldata or Chilton's(they have DIY and professional level access). You can remove the upper timing covers to check cam timing. It may be that the cam phasers are bad. It's very unlikely that the timing would skip. You can test 02 sensor function with an OBD2 scanner with live data.
Too much work. I just slide under, half inch rachet with 22mm socket to hold and spin crank bolt/balancer and zip all bolts off. Should only take 5 minutes lol.
I have an 2008 Tundra 4.7 v8 and I'll be buying an 07 sequoia with the same 4.7 v8 engine, both AWD. do you have any idea if it will be a direct fit?
Love it! Thanks
Is this the same for.first generation tundra? I can't see anything it's dark

Probably in March I’ll be doing this but on an 05 Tundra with the 4.0 V6 w/ a manual trans. Any tips you can think of for that configuration?

Honestly I can't remember! Sorry about that.

It wasn't too hard and definitely easier to pull the engine by itself
ok but what do i do if my flywheeel self deleted

What if my engine is hydro locked… how do I to spin the fly wheel?
Remove the spark plugs for starters
Just pull motor out leaving torque converter attached?? Much easier.
That's not advisable, the torque converter contains probably 8 quarts of fluid which will spill everywhere once you do that.
Put a 5.3 V8 in it Chevy engine
