Toyota/Lexus 2UZ-FE 4.7 Liter V8 Timing Belt Replacement (Part 1)

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: bit.ly/3feE6tJ
In this 2-part video series, we replace the timing belt and associated parts on a 2008 Lexus GX470 with the 2UZ-FE 4.7 Liter V8 Engine. This engine can be found in a lot of other vehicles including: Toyota Sequoias, Toyota Tundras, Toyota 4th Gen 4Runners, Toyota 100 Series Land Cruisers and Lexus LX470s so this video will help you replace the timing belt and associates parts on these models as well. There might be slight differences between the models but the bulk of the job should be very similar.
In Part 1, we cover stripping down the front of the engine, getting the timing belt off and getting the water pump off. We also show replacing the crankshaft seal.
