Thank you for your video, helped me change my belts no problem!
Glad to hear the video was helpful 🍻
Great vid dude, I needed to see that before working on my tlc project Tacoma
Thanks. What are your plans with it? Just refreshing everything?
This is an amazing video, thanks so much for your attention to detail and even including the specs in the description.
Glad I could help. I have a few more videos that I will eventually upload. Thanks for the kind words and letting me know this was helpful. 🍻
Thank you. Enough information for me to see where the tensioners and lock bolts are. Brief and to the point. Some of us understand that installation is simply the reverse of removal. Specs, yep, 1/4" is usually about right. Respect the bearings.
Awesome video, very helpful. Did you ever figure out the belt tension specs?
Super helpful video, turns out my idler pulley was bad, luckily I found a new one floating around in the back. One thing to note since the video doesn't explicitly say to do or not do so, don't take the hinge bolt completely out of the power steering pump (the one that's accessed through the pully) for some reason I took it out and it was a huge PITA to get back in
Wish I saw this comment, I just finished putting that bolt in….
😬
Just about ready to do mine again also! I don't mess around with worn belts and try to do them every couple of years. Also a good idea to replace your idler pulley (if you haven't already) with an oem one as they tend to wear out after 160k or so.
Oh yeah, be sure to keep your old belts stashed in the truck somewhere, just in case your in the middle of nowhere and you have to do an emergency belt replacement to get ya home!
Your trucks lookin good man! Keep up on that maintanece and it will run forever!
Thats a great idea. I think I'll probably do that. The last thing I'd want to do is have one of these belts snap off when I'm out in the wilderness with no cell signal. haha 🍻 What manufacture do you usually go with OEM or ?
@@azorianification Bando for the belts. They are just as thick as OEM but a fraction of the cost. Everything I have read on the idler pulley says to go OEM. The generic just don't last while an OEM should get you another 150k. I did mine about 6 months ago and it's been fine.
And yeah! Being stuck in the woods over a simple belt fix would suck!
@@yoboo6167 I decided to go with Gates, but for the pulley I plan on swapping it out with OEM.
@@yoboo6167 What have you done with your truck? Is yours a daily, or are you building it up for something?
@@azorianification Always building and upgrading for offroad, remote adventures!
I watched many videos trying to figure out the tensioners (I've been spoiled by the spring-loaded serpentine belts) and this was the only video that got to the point and was consistently helpful.
One question, are those OEM Toyota windchimes in the background?
No the wind chimes are aftermarket 😂 Glad you found the video helpful. Hopefully the wind chimes were stress relieving and not annoying. 😂😂🍻
thanks!
🍻
Is the installation of the new belts in reverse order so: AC, Alternator and then Power Steering?
That is how I did it. Started with the last belt I pulled. 🍻
Old video but you really helped me out a lot. Thank you. 🤘🏽
Glad it helped. That was the only reason I made the video 👍🍻
I’m trying to replace my belts. The ac belt is tight even with the tension taken off. The old one came off herd and the new one seems impossible to get on. Any suggestions?
The old one was removable without cutting it?
@@azorianification I figured it out. I didn’t have enough tension taken off. I’m not that mechanical smart sometimes.
Glad you figured it out! It’s all part of the learning process. 🍻
What year is your Tacoma if you don’t mind me asking?
No problem. It’s a 2001 🍻
I cant seem to get the tension off the AC belt , the idler pulley is worn out and i decided to replace it along with all belts as well ! Ibe got the other broke loose but that ac belt just dont seem to be loosing! The bolt in the tensioner is screwed out over 5/8" and nothing has changed!
Just saw this. Were you able to figure it out?
I’m having same issue. Did you figured out what was going on @brooks ealy
You’ve tried letting it soak in something like PB Blaster?
@@azorianification found a video of someone actually turning this one clock wise to send it vertically up and it removed the tension that way not loosening the bolt out. So hopefully that works. Will try when I get back home.
Awesome! Good luck
Oreilly says the K040343 doesn't fit the taco, and recommends K040345. It's a difference of 1/8", though, so it's probably fine.
Thanks for the heads up. I believe I got this information from the gates website.
I have an 04 tacoma crew cab 3.4 v6 but my skid plate looks completely different from yours
Interesting. Is it OEM? Maybe it’s aftermarket? Mine is an 01
@@azorianification
Yeah it’s oem. I seen it in other Tacoma’s as well. It’s a little longer… maybe there’s a difference between extra cab and double cab?
You skipped one third of the uninstall 😂
What did I miss? It’s been a minute since I did this
Didnt even show the orientation and what pulleys the belts go over lol
I’m sure I missed a few steps but hopefully you found it somewhat useful.
Would have been a much better video if he actually showed where all of the bolts are on the pan under the engine. Also, he didn't show how to get to any of the tensioner bolts. Looks easy if you skip over all of the difficult parts.

Sorry the video wasn’t as helpful to you. It’s really difficult to record each step of the process and with a job like this some of the bolts are almost impossible to see with a camera. I’m also the only one recording this as I’m replacing the belts so keep that in mind. I’ll keep your comments in the next time I create another how to video. 🍻
