Toyota Timing Belt Replacement (PART 1) for V6 5VZ-FE (4runner, Tacoma, Tundra & T100)

*Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: * **PLEASE READ. IMPORTANT INFORMATION** In this video we show you how to perform a Timing Belt Replacement on a Toyota 3.4 Liter V6 Engine. The 5VZ-FE engine was used for 3rd Generation 4runners, 1st Generation Tacoma’s, Early Tundras and T100’s. We not only show you how to replace the timing belt but we also show you how to replace all the associated parts; the water pump, both idler pulleys, the timing belt tensioner, thermostat, both cam shaft seals and the crank shaft seal. **Since we shot the video, we learned a trick from a guy local to us who’s an experienced mechanic. He said he backs off the timing belt tensioner bolts a little and that gives some extra play to get the timing belt onto the #1 idler pulley. Once the timing belt is onto the #1 idler pulley, you’d just completely tighten the two tensioner bolts. I also looked back at the FSM and it instructs you to put the tensioner on AFTER the belt is on so you could do that as well. We used the trick of backing off the the tensioner bolts a little to make getting the belt on easier and it worked great. Check out Part 2 of this video to see us use this technique. **PARTS** *Timing belt kit *Crank Pulley Bolt #90119-16006 **HELPFUL TOOLS** *18 Quart Food Storage Container *20 Piece Screwdriver Set *Right Angle Needle Nose Piers *Hose Remover Set *Milwaukee Mi12 Cordless Ratchet *Milwaukee M12 Battery *Milwaukee M12 High Capacity Battery *Milwaukee M12 Battery Charger *Long Set of Ratcheting Box End Wrenches *Mayhew 5 Piece Prybar Set *1/2“ Drive Flex Head Gear Wrench Ratchet *1/2” Drive 6 Point Deep Metric Socket Set *1/4“ and 3/8“ Flex Head Ratchet Set *3/8” Drive Regular Extension Set *Flex Head Box End Wrench Set *3/8“ Drive 6 Point Metric Standard Socket Set *3/8“ Drive 6 Point Metric Deep Socket Set *1/2” Drive Breaker Bar - 18” Long *Camshaft Pulley Holder *3/8” Drive Swivel *Metric Allen Head Socket Set *CDI 3/8“ Drive Foot Pound Torque Wrench *CDI 3/8“ Drive 30-250 Inch Pound Torque Wrench *CDI 1/2“ Drive 30-250 Foot Pound Torque Wrench *OTC 6673 Universal Belt Tension Gauge *Lisle 58430 Shaft Type Seal Puller *Schley Products SP 64400 Harmonic Damper Pulley Holding Tool *OTC 4518 Stinger 5-ton Bar-Type Puller/Bearing Separator Set *PRIVATE BRAND TOOLS PBT70960 Crankshaft and Camshaft Seal Tool Kit *Schley (SCH97300) Toyota Timing Belt Tensioner Compressor ( Optional tool if you don’t plan on replacing the timing belt tensioner) *(2) M8 Metric Bolts with a Pitch, 100mm long with 4 washers - Bolts we used with the OTC 4518 puller or other puller you have to remove the crankshaft pulley. *(2) M6 Metric Bolts with a 1.0 Pitch, 100mm long with 4 washers - Bolts you’d use with the OTC 4518 puller or other puller you have if you found the crankshaft timing gear was stuck onto the crankshaft. *Lisle 24680 Spill-Free Funnel *Silicon Plug Kit **As Ebay Partner Network members, we earn commissions from qualifying purchases. **As Amazon Associates we earn from qualifying purchases. *Torque Specs** Alternator Pivot Bolt - 38 ft-lbf Alternator Adjuster Lock Nut - 25 ft-lbf Power Steering Pivot Bolt - 32 ft-lbf Power Steering Adjuster Lock Nut - 32 ft-lbf AC Idle Pulley Lock Nut - 29 ft-lbf Thermostat Water Inlet Nuts - 14 ft-lbf Water Pump Bolts - 14 ft-lbf Radiator Bolts - 8.7 ft-lbf #1 Idler Pulley - 30 ft-lbf #2 Idler Pulley - 26 ft-lbf (I said 30 ft-lbs.
