I just did this job on my wife's 2006 Solara, and this video made it so much easier than any manual ever could have. I got lucky and didn't have to remove the water pump studs. Thanks for posting this! It really helped a lot.

Had to do another timing belt on the same car this weekend (177K miles). The car made a tapping/knocking sound when staring up in the morning. New timing belt fixed it. This video helped me yet again. Thanks!

Here's a ritual that I use every time to get those water pump studs out. It has never failed me. First, I use the side of a hammer to give the E-8 end of the stud a few whacks to wake up the thread. Strike from the end as if you were hitting a nail. Don't hit downward. Then I use the double nut technique. Take the two flange nuts that you removed from the studs. Install one nut as you normally would till it bottoms out on the threads. Then take the second nut and install it backwards so that the "washer" part is facing toward you. Now use two 12mm open end wrenches to jam the nuts against each other. There should also be enough of the E-8 tip exposed so that you can get a socket on it. Now just use a 12mm open end wrench on the inner nut, and an E-8 socket on the end and wrench it out using both hands. This has worked every time, and I have never broken off the E-8 end of the stud.

Why didn’t Toyota just cut a damn slot in the back timing cover for removing the water pump? Would it have been that hard?

Need to get the water pump out but having problems removing the rear cam bolt (my removal tool bend out of shape) AND the two studs holding the water pump are stucked even using an E8 socket (one was stripped and didn't want to force the other one stud). Won't budge even using a lock jaw plier. Will get back to it with a stronger cam removal tool tomorrow.

When replacing the cam seals should they be completely flush or should you set them 1mm out? I keep reading mixed things. I have the JTC toyota cam tool so it's SUPER easy to install the cam seals. I just wasn't sure if you should bottom the seal out to the back of the cam housing thus making it completely flush with the front of the cam housing?

hello guys thank you for this very informative video. i wish i had mechanics like you nearby , with that being said i am a backyard mechanic , i can not for the life of me remove this stubborn crankshaft bolt on my 2003 toyota camry le v6 , 282,000k one owner myself, i have tried torch, cheater bar, air compressor 135 psi. with an air gun i have the car just sitting for that reason it is out of timing so i bought parts water pump belts timing kit, etc , PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS DUMB BOLT OFF!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Try the torch method again, except this time add these steps. 1. Heat the bolt to almost red hot (this will in turn heat/expand the crankshaft flange) 2. Place a soaking wet rag on the red hot bolt (this will quickly cool/contract the bolt, while the crankshaft flange is still warm) for 15-seconds or so 3. Quickly impact wrench or cheater bar the bolt out before the crankshaft has time to cool and contract 4. Problem solved

What kind of impact gun (1/2" drive?) did you use to take off the crank bolt and what air pressure were you running? How did you retorque it?
@fixingcarsandstuff
10 жыл бұрын
1/2" MAC gun likely. And pressure at the shop I think is around 120, or 180, I know that is a big difference but don't really think about it. leaning towards 120. I actually grab a torque stick (usually used to torque lug nuts) they stop tightening at a specified toque built into that specific torque stick.

We did exactly this job on a 2000 Camry 3.0L and we used all Toyota parts. We followed step by step similar instructions from Toyota. When all point lined up and slack out of belt we released tensioner and still all points right in line on marks. But when you crank motor by hand around the points do not line back up....We did it over again and the same result... Any thoughts?
@ojofelixnm3608

The OEM marks on the timing belt will never line up again after you start the engine because of the difference in the diameter of the cam sprockets and the engine timing sprocket. If you were careful about installing the timing belt, the engine should run. Regards

Hey 13 minutes into the video you say “we need to take the hydraulic tensioner out” and proceed to show the bolts that need to be removed. If someone is following along like I was and pausing the video after each item you say to remove then they will most likely do what I did and remove that tensioner at 13 minutes when you say it will be removed. Then they will find out like I did that you don’t remove it then, that you in fact remove that brace then you start to line up all your timing markings. Which now I won’t be able to do all at once because the tensioner is no longer on the vehicle. Please clarify that so someone doesn’t follow in my footsteps.

James. Understand your concern. Anyone doing a timing belt needs to have basic knowledge about lining up cam gears and crankshaft before removing tensioner.

Suraj Kumar to remove the camshaft sprocket you just need to hold it with a holding tool, maybe a soft tooth large channel locks, you don't want to scratch up the teeth on it. It makes doing the water pump a lot easier, because then you can remove the black metal rear cover, that kind of prevents you from taking off the water pump.

unfortunately, people are fucking lazy and don't listen to manufacturers when they say to replace the timing belts at certain regular intervals because they have tested hundreds of engines for thousands of hours in different ambient conditions and know better than anybody how long the timing belts will last. There are no symptoms on interference engines except that your engine eats itself up internally. Best case scenario you just need new heads because the pistons will not give any fucks when they smash the shit out of the valves that are open. Worst case, you just totaled your car because a valve broke off inside and the piston tried to compress it and the connecting rod snapped like a twig and blew a hole through the side of the block.

User-xe. A necessary step in buying a used car is paying a mechanic ~$150 to do a complete safety and maintenance inspection. This identifies all items required for state certification and maintenance to keep car running reliably. Now you know.
