Toyota Hilux drive belt change - how to - 1kd engine kun26r n70

Welcome to foord offroad
This is Instructional video on how to change the serpentine drive belt on a 1kd Toyota engine
This one is a Toyota Hilux, it’s the same for a Toyota Prado with this engine from 2005-2015
Drawing a picture always makes it easier to put back together, especially if it will be apart for a while, changing the water pump for example
A long spanner is easier to do it with than a socket too
Hope this helps someone out
Thanks for watching

I’m not much of a mechanic but I solo explore most of the time. I always carry spares and tools and have downloaded videos like this on my iPad in case I get stuck I can refresh my memory if I’m in the middle of nowhere. Very well explained. Just subscribed. Cheers!

Thanks for the help, pulley didn’t move and bolt just snapped, now I don’t know how to get to work

Did you turn the correct way?

[@jadpgillies]

Job. Cheers

I hate putting it back on. Can those tensioners not be locked in position so you can use both hands? Just curious. Thanks anyway. Well explained.

I'm about to save $170 by replacing this belt myself!! Watch this space

[@user-lf8dq2bf6r]

Your videos are really helpful mate! Well done. I’m shopping for a Gates belt and have noticed they come standard or ribbed. Which would you recommend? (2013 Hilux)

[@user-lf8dq2bf6r]

Could just be a typo on the retailers website

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks, there’s not really any difference in the belts, well there is but not noticeable at the power level of a Hilux
gates is a good brand to go with though

[@user-lf8dq2bf6r]

@@foordoffroad8915 Genuine belts are $85. Gates are $65. What are your thoughts?

[@foordoffroad8915]

I’d go with gates but up to you on your own car

[@user-lf8dq2bf6r]

Great vid. What size is your wrench? I can’t fit my 1/2in ratchet onto the tensioner bolt. The fan is in the way.

[@foordoffroad8915]

I’m using a 3/8 short ratchet

@@foordoffroad8915 thanks mate. That worked! Also what jack stands would you recommend?

[@foordoffroad8915]

@@user-lf8dq2bf6r whatever the tallest ones are you can get, always good to get the car as high as possible I reckon, easier to crawl around under it

Why don't you show us a still shot pic of the belt configuration
