You're still doing a questionable fix with toyota oem dude.
You're atleast doing the community minimum. Which is better than where you were going. Congrats....., you may have just arrived. EDIT: No one was mad at you man. You just have alot to learn with this car. It's a breed of its' own. Last edited by supramacist; 06-26-2008 at 05:16 PM. |

been busy
got a lot of work done yesterday with 4 hours and a buddy helping me. got almost everything off that needs to come off before take the cam covers off and un bolt everthing except the turbo and exhaust stuff. i am having a bit of a hard time getting the rear belt off. i also broke (yes, completely shattered a 3/8 in. ratchet) trying to get off the crank bolt. but i have a neighbor who has every tool on the planet, so i asked for a 3/4 in. breaker bar and it came off with easy. anyways... how do i loosen the rear belt on the crank pulley to get it off? is there a tensioner that needs to be loosened up? i looked and loosened a few bolts but marked where they were in case it moved but nothing happened. so i am stumped.
on a side note... i figured out the previous owner had someone or did the hg himself because everything still has marks on it. should be interesting to see what i find.

You can adjust the power steering pump toward the pulley and get it off.
It's always a bit tough any way. You need to slow down and take your time because if you have missed this. There is no telling what else you have over looked. IF your buddy isn't there to help it go together agian. You're going to have blind spots when doing so. |

NO problem. That 1 belt is always the hardest. The power steering pump never seems to want to move far enough.
Take lots of pictures and label all of the individual bolts as to where they came from. Sound like you're doing a good job. |
