You're welcome, DJ. You have yourself a true gem in your 1996 Camry. One of Toyota's best engines and transmissions. They're gonna have to pry my 1995 Camry, Stella, from my cold, dead hands. ;)
Avid DIY mechanic here. Your videos are some my FAVOURITE on the net. So clear. So full of helpful detail. Good lighting. Can't complain about ANYTHING. I am in the middle of a timing belt job right now, and the manual says to install the new tensioner pulley and its spring, and THEN to force said pulley down (against the force of the spring) to install the new t-belt. My question: can't I just install the t-belt first, and then create tension by installing the spring AFTER? I mean, what's the point of installing the spring first, and then needing to fight it? Thank you for your time. =)
Hi, Maplecook. Thank you. I appreciate that. Re your question--I'm a stickler for following the shop manual on a vehicle. Pencil-pen Gal here. ;) So, while it may not make much sense to you or me, I always figure the manufacturer has a specific reason for advising repairs be done in a specific order or sequence. I would be remiss to not advise you to follow the manual. That's what I'd do. If I get real stuck, I always call or visit a dealership and have found the folks there are always happy to help with my questions.
I’m stuck day 3 with the same process because I damaged cam bolt really bad to a point that nothing can grab the bolt to crack it. I’m thinking can I strap chain wrench the pulley to remove it along with the bolt, would that work with not damaging anything ??? Pls help!
