You are awesome buddy! LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS and your passion of helping others do DIY is just the cherry on top! God bless you!

God bless you my friend!! I appreciate your kind words. I’m always trying to share something of value that can perhaps help someone. Or even save you some money.

Another great tip a msitake i made in my previous toyotas is if the belts match the same length , and everything is right and it still doesnt fit even when moving the tensioners. Remember to go as far right with the bar then move it left to move the tensioner to its full potential, if you under shoot it wont ever fit, that tensioner can move a good amount.

@VikingsGarage 11 дней назад

It sure can, one learns that overtime. Excellent point nonetheless. 👊🏻

Nice tip with the wedding ring. Ive never worn one just for that reason. Seen a fellow mechanic fry one to his finger back in the day working with a battery.

Doing the same thing with my 10’ new alternator, how did it go?

@motoman9944 4 месяца назад

@Nwwoods Went alright. The bolt in the back of the alternator was not fun. Also, the 1st alternator I got from Oreillys had to be returned, because the pulley wasn't turning freely. Got it done though!

Great video. I have an 03 Sport Edition that was my wife's. We where thinking of selling it but I just could not part with it, even though its a 2wd its still a great SUV.

Thanks Allot BRO! Your the first one to do a video on the drive belt of the 5th gen. Were the pulleys fought to crack loose?

As usual, a good vid from the Viking. Question: it looks like you have a factory service manual, where were you able to get one? I don't care if it's hard copy or electronic. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! Great cider, thanks. Did you change the tensioner pulley assembly? Wondering if I should do that as well.

I didn’t, but if you do keep in mind that the a/c compressor has to come out.

The part number you gave, second one is for a idler pulley

@user-vz7dc2hr5x Год назад

Another great video viking. Can I order the idler pulley through auto parts store or Amazon, will they be the same quality as Toyota or should I just go to Toyota and get everything OEM t.y.

@VikingsGarage Год назад

There’s some good brands out there aftermarket, me personally I would go OEM and have that extra piece of mind.

Hey Viking have you ever replaced the front corner lights? How do you access them, through the wheel well?

I actually have replaced mine when I replaced the headlight assemblies… but I can confirm that the only way to get to it is only thru the wheel well. Remove that wheel well fender cover and getting to it will be easy. 👍🏻

My 2010 4Runner has 192k, I was thinking about changing out the tensioner and idler pulleys as just preventative maintenance and peace of mind. Would you recommend waiting until there is noise coming from them? 🍻 V

@VikingsGarage 4 месяца назад

At that mileage, change at least the pulleys. 🍺

@Aventura.out. 10 месяцев назад

How did you get the lowest pulley near the oil filter housing off? I tried everything and ended up stripping that bolt.

@VikingsGarage 10 месяцев назад

You have to be very gentle and patient, it wasn’t easy. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@garyfollmer9079 11 месяцев назад

So why didn’t you replace the tensioner,just curious you are so thorough with everything. Just wondering. I liked the video,Toyota wants 450.00 for the belt replacement. I’m sure I can do this myself. Great job!!!

@VikingsGarage 11 месяцев назад

To replace the belt tensioner the A/C compressor will need to be removed. I’m not replacing a perfectly good tensioner specially knowing how involved it would get. I try to keep these videos simple and easy to follow. Belt tensioner will need its own entire video. I appreciate your support!!

@@VikingsGarage I have owned 4 4runners and that's a new one on me. Also, you never stated that to be your reasoning; you stated that that's what you usually do and that's what your method is, never did you say that the diagram wasn't on the shroud or hood. Go back and listen to your own video. I've been working on cars for over 45 years so you can keep that "Snarky' little remark to yourself.

Wow. 👍🏻 Go up and look at your comment… knowing that the hood or fan shroud had the diagram, why would I tell you to draw it out.
