Thanks Bubba. Your struggle made the job much easier for the rest of us!
All in a days work. You're welcome.
Damn, this is the first video where it has the EXACT same noise that my car's water pump is making.
Now you know. The real deal.
@@ozzstars_cars I have never replaced a water pump before, but I'm gonna try it this weekend. I have a 2018 Toyota, but I think that I can do it. Mainly because here in Atlanta, mechanics charge almost $175 per hour.
Thank you very much, for the effort and the patience showing mostly of the details; its going to really help me cause I had the same issue on my wife 2008 Highlander. May God bless you.
Thank you! Just completed the whole job in my drive way, your awesome video took the guessing work out of what I need it to do. One of the best tutorials I've seen.
Glad the video was helpful Raul. Thanks for your comment.
Bro thanks for spending the time to walk us through that job. Your video is a blessing! You rock!
Your welcome and thanks for your comment!
One of the best tutorial videos on auto mechanics. No B.S. video and to the point. Great video work and HQ video footage. Thank you. Saved me $$$ and time. Much appreciated.
You are welcome, thanks for your comment.
I like this design better than the later Toyota design with the water pump driven off a timing belt. Nice job, Glen! Good lighting, great audio, excellent camera angles.
Thanks Dave for the comment, I appreciate the feedback!
Wow Glen! Every time I watch your videos I always learn something new. In this video, I learned three things. 1) Your water pump should never 'rock and roll'. 2) When it's cold as balls, don't work outside and 3) Don't lose your nuts! Seriously, you're doing some great work on getting that water pump out of there and looks like it's going pretty smooth. That only means one thing! That damn chaos is on his way south to my home LOL... Have a good one and don't work too hard!
Things go even smoother in part 2. Chaos left yesterday, he mentioned something about NC. You better close the window blinds and don't answer the door!! haha
Thank you so much for this video! I just performed this repair on my 2008 Highlander and you nailed it! This video saved me $1800. Thanks!
That's awesome Steven. Please like and share some of my other repair videos.
Great video! I did one of these this weekend and I learned a little trick that might help getting the pulley on and off. On the back cyl. head there is a black cover protecting an oil line. If you jack the engine up (as you instructed)and remove that cover( only 2 bolts hold it on) the pulley comes right off giving you an obstructed view of the w.p. Thought this might help.
Thanks for your comment Dan
Thank you just did my rav4 your video's were a huge help. You gave extra detail when need. great job!!!
I appreciate your comment, thanks!
Give this man an Oscar, highly deserved! Thanks so much, video was so well done and saved me boat loads!
🏆 thank you.
As I'm watching I comment because I forget stuff. LOL I was in Harbor Freight yesterday and the shelves were empty of all Earthquake products. Huge success for HF, sucks for me. Nice work so far, you know I'll be back for part two. :)
The HF Earthquake stuff seems to be good for the money. Hint: Want a sneak peek of Part 2? Click on the annotation thumbnail pic at the end of this part 1. Your a VIP and can get in for free. ;-)
Ozzstar let me check on that, thanks!
Nicely jacked, nice and slow. Fine work sir 👍
Thanks Rob, you certainly don't want to pull a muscle!! :-)
Great video, helped out when I changed the water pump on my wife’s 08 Highlander. Thanks
Happy wife, that should get you some brownie points. Your welcome and glad it worked out. -Glen ;-)
Thank you, your very detailed video helped me a lot.
I have to say Thank you Brother your two videos helping me a lot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good news Jose. You're welcome.
That's one of those variable geometry water pumps. Looks factory fresh 👍
Yeah ridiculously designed in my opinon
In Australia, the Highlander is called Kluger, because Hyundai owns the Highlander name. Mine needs a water pump replacement and has a cracked screen too. This video spoke to me.
That pump has a ton of bolts and sounds like a train wreck, wow.Nice work on the tear down.
Great video! Thank you so much. Looks very similar to a Sienna.
Your welcome Bruce. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for the well done video! I sincerely appreciate the help!!! :)
Your welcome and I appreciate the comment, thanks. -Glen
Tight squeeze on that one ! We will see you in part 2 !😋
Thanks Norm!
Yeah this is a good video. My wife’s 07 Lexus had a water pump that was going out I live in Northern California everyone wanted four grand to do the job. I do it myself just bought parts from Lexus. Not saying it’s easy took me about eight hours but well worth it in my opinion.
Yeah John that's a nice savings. $4k to do that job is complete robbery!
Great video man thanks for the help !!!
Your welcome and thanks for your comment. -Glen
Great Video!
Just did a 2009 Toyota Venza 3.5 water pump and thermostat today. If you read Alldata, it would give you a heart attack. I didn't really want to do the job since the temps in NY hover between 15-25 degrees these days, but my customer was getting quotes of $1,800-$2,100 because of the crazy book time for this job. This pump died at 108K miles. Hope this one lasts longer.
After doing the job once I could see it be doing in 3 hours, it's not that bad at all. Thanks for watching and commenting Marc.
Good work👍
Good work, great video.
Thank you I appreciate that!
Thanks, well done video
Thanks for the comment!
Great video. Thanks
Glad it helped
Fantastic video. I am about to attempt this and I want to replace that tensioner pulley. I know someone already asked this, but where did you get the pulley for the tensioner? Did you just replace the bearings or did you replace the pulley with something like it? Thanks!
You most likely need to order a tensioner and swap the pulley. I have pressed in new bearings before. The tensioner swap on this model Highlander is a huge pain.
Looks like a real tight squeeze - the arrow marking on the belt idea I do as well but I also put another arrow marking on the body so I can remember which way the arrow should go. LOL
Now that's a great idea! haha
You're an American hero bro
Nah I'm just fixing cars but thanks Victor!
@ozzstars_cars hey bud so I have it all out ! Thanks to you but now im having a hard time finding that little o ring like once you take out the thermostat housing and disconnect the hoses there is a rigid line that has a small o ring on it you talked about it on the vid do you know what's is called or where I can find it ?
Would this work on 2015 highlander? Thanks for posting this I learned a lot
5am Sam similar. How many miles on the '15?
Ozzstar just 40 000 miles I was just getting ready incase anything happens l like to familiarize myself with the car I’m driving. Thanks for responding.
good diy video
Thank you Sir!
My Rav4 146k miles is a making a similar noise,but not as bad and pulley does not appear to be wobbling.No leaks are noticed.How long did you notice the noise or did it get progessively worse till you noticed it.?To determine if it is the pump is there any reason I cannot pull the belt off and start engine briefly and this would tell me if it is most likely the pump?Realizing it is not the only belt driven device.Hate when winter hits and these things go bad!Video will be a big help if I do it.thanks
The bearing could just be beginning to fail but not bad enough to the point where the impellar shaft is wobbling. If you spin the pulley by hand with the belt off you may feel or hear the noise. Make sure to check all the pulleys and accessories before replacing anything. This isn't my car and it was making noise for a while before being repaired.
thanks..Just got back in from loosening belt and the pulley wobbles, so the bearing is bad.Just ordered pump.Thanks again.
There is your problem! You are welcome. Check out part 2 of this video if you haven't yet. Is the part you need the same as the one I pinned in the comment section?
Yes it is the same part.
Can you show how do you remove water pump pulley bolts out? What tool did you use to hold it?
Did you watch Part 2?
Is their a big difference in procedure between the 2G-RFE and 2G-FXS Highlander?
Sorry I don't know.
Hi Ozzstar's Cars, how did you get the serpentine belt out? What part of the tensioner pulley am I going to move? Is it that one bolt in the middle of the pulley? or is it somewhere around? I don't want to force anything in this part of the car. Thank you.
Put a socket 9n the tensioner pulley and push to release the belt tension. Remove belt.
@@ozzstars_cars push means turning the bolt counterclockwise?
I have an 04 with 290,000. Water pump finally went. I'm due for a timing belt change so we I'm gonna knock that out to
You are right, might as well do it all at once.
Great video, I have the noise coming from front engine. Question, I was trying to get tensioner pulley but nobody sells it. Do you know how to get it?
Toyota OEM part or if the tensioner is okay and the bearing is making noise, use a pulley/bearing of the same dimension.
Ozzstar , nobody sells pulley for tensioner. the idler pulley can purchased in any store, but not the tensioner pulley. do you think replacing bearing is feasible?
If the current bearing has failed you have no choice but to replace it. Yes
do you have video how to do it?
No sorry I don't have any bearing press videos.
Those are always fun to do😐
And you certainly know :-)
I must've missed it but can you pl eease tell me what engine is it? 2GR-FE?
I believe so...
Was the right side mount the only one you had to take off?
Right side upper and lower mount only.
Is the Idler and tensioner the same when ordering replacements?
If your talking about the pulleys, nope.
These dont have a timing belt?
nope
i dunno...think i'll stick with inline engines...heh. party on!

Good Job, just so you know you can grease the head of that ratchet, with a grease needle.
I take them apart and do it the old school way. Clean it out good and then lube. Good tip with the needle.
How much milages did your highlander had when you did the job ?
It's not my vehicle. Guessing around 155-175k miles
How long did it take to do all of that?
6-7 hours with filming. I can do this job in under 3 hours.
What was the mileage at the time of failure?
I don't exactly recall but around d 145k miles.
These have timing chains or timing belts?
This has a timing chain. Keep that oil clean!
The water pump on my 2008 highlander is doing the same thing. Making the same noise. Is that something that I have to fix now or could It take a few hundred more miles?
Fix it now.
Mine sounded like the rope hitting the flagpole in the wind n now from watching this video I see that it was probably the bearing in that pulley making that sound. They said the water pump cap was so fucked up he didn't know how I made it there lol fuuuuuck
Are the idler pulley and tensioner pulley the same part number?
No they are not
Having a hard time finding the tensioner pulley only. Only finding the whole tensioner assembly. Would you have a part number for the pulley only? Thanks. Good video by the way.
@quintriggins6557 the pulley has to be purchased with a tensioner, not sold separately as far as I know.
Thanks again. That is what I was seeing in my search
when in doubt, whip it out
All the time without hesitation.
she said fold ur 12"'s in half to make 6"
How many miles does that 2008 have on it? If it's less than 200k, I'm going to call Toyota out on cheap quality hahah
Start calling Ivan, one family owned, 166K :-(
Oh boy, I have an 08 Highlander with 170k. I hope I have better luck.
Failure confirmed! lol No doubt about that one. Thanks!
The pump was shot for sure. Thanks for stopping by
Well I am fixing to start on my GF water pump, it's starting to get cold here in texas now, I do have a LIFT in my shop and last night i Put the 08 up in the air.... well here go nothing as they say, and it'e 2:59 am watching part 1& 2 thanks for the heads up. Did the Subscribed and the All.
Good luck Tinman. Did you get the job done by sunrise?
OMG!!!
You not surprised are you? Or just getting water pump religious? haha

I thought toyotas were reliable?
