How to change a water pump / timing belt change guide - n70 1kd kun26r Hilux

[@snowrider141]

This was a good and simple video, thank you! Beats all the other videos I see where people yarn too much and you don't see everything they're removing/replacing.

[@joshdean4219]

Mate thumbs up from Central Coast NSW your playlist of videos has given me so much confidence to smash out these jobs on my Hilux, I can confirm no blown engine after completing timing belt change😅thanks again and keep these instructional vids coming

[@foordoffroad8915]

Good to hear my videos have helped 👍

[@roanreeddaily3611]

Thanks for the video mate. I'm stuck on the side of the road in Africa and I managed to download your video and get the pump off what a pain. Great job

[@foordoffroad8915]

Glad my video helped you out made 👍

[@calvynnobrega9951]

@@foordoffroad8915 so just a tip guys... Buy genuine Toyota parts. I bought a Chinese rip off because I had no option. Guess what... It's messed up again, I guess it got me out of trouble, but really its not worth it in the long run, big potential for engine damage. Waiting for a genuine pump to fit now.

[@oldman_eleven]

Thats so epic

[@bolsen9258]

Your an absolute legend, I've used one of your previous videos to do a clutch and it was incredibly informative, will be giving this a crack in the near future.

You’re a top mechanic mate. Love your work!

[@adamtomes6943]

Thanks to you I just saved myself 2k. Cheers bud

[@neonghost1627]

Simple and to the point, love it! In case you're wondering, that little bit on top of the camshaft is called a woodruff key!

[@rodrickjambarufo5591]

I didn't lineup my timing belt when removing waterpump

[@AndrewSparkfish]

Great and well edited video without unnecessary waffle.....

[@dcht88]

Brilliant video man, you made the job alot easier for me on a cold wet day in Ireland 👌 keep up the good work!!

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks mate 👍 happy my video helped you out

[@riotbull432]

I was about to replace the waterpump myself until i watched your video hahaha very good video though mate awesome.

[@kingsleymohammed9627]

dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf these days :)

[@yehudajames3334]

@Kingsley Mohammed definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

[@adamdunbar5890]

Mate your videos have helped me change just about every component on my kun26r sr5s. No bullshit, just how to do it, and which bits suck, so I don’t feel like I’m just a spud😂 Cheer’s 🤙🏼

[@Lucentlens]

[From the UK, May 2022] Excellent walk-through buddy! 👍🏽👍🏽 P.s. I actually needed this to help me with accessing the camshaft seal, which on my 1KD-FTV was leaking. Perfect video for that!

[@greenslawngarden7809]

Bro! You’re a champ 🤙🏼 easy to understand and follow your vids

[@jimmydcricket5893]

Good video, the cam tool thingy for holding the cam and flywheel while tightening the nut is cheap on ebay.

[@jaybajan]

Tedious looking job mate.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yeah it’s not too bad once you’ve done it a few times but it’s defiantly not a quick job

[@jaybajan]

@@foordoffroad8915 this is about a 2 hour job?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Takes a lot longer when trying to film haha

[@snells-window]

@@foordoffroad8915 really appreciate your effort to film and document it properly. Thanks and Excellent tutorial

[@josha1911]

Cheer bro good video heaps of help👌

[@thomassullivan1526]

Great informative video well done 👍🏻

[@SToRMoOoRiDeR]

Really good video, I like that everything makes sense and your instructions. Question: how long does it take to you, to change the timing belt kit + water pump on this Hilux? Including all the unmounting of parts for the access.

[@mrropey]

Thank you for the hilux information good stuff 👍👍👍 keep them coming. Hooroo

[@richie4540]

Just doing this on a Sunday, one point for anyone doing it, Toyota now make a two part pump housing, so you can replace the pump next time without pulling all the extras off the engine.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yeah they do, you can buy a aftermarket one as well and that is a good option I went with the one piece because my luck it’ll be the back gasket that lets go first and I’ll have to pull it all off anyway haha

[@juxjohnny]

Great Video's loving them. Never done anything like this and always wondered might start breaking shit

[@techsoul5590]

Great video mate. You don't happen to remember which direction the little piece of metal on the bottom 2 alternator bolts with a Y shape on one end faces do you? Mine dropped out before I realised there was a piece there.

[@sproket168]

Awesome video mate. Where do a pay 🤣. Question. Why not silicone . Just used Blue RTV silicone gasket Maker . Am I'm doomed 🤣

[@all4dh8rz3]

Toyota didn't worry too much about the placement of the water pump bolts because it's an service item at the same time as the timing belt. So it does make sense where the bolts are placed!

[@MrA8888888888888888]

Well explained thanks. Mine needs doing; have you had much to do with split water pumps, if you are swapping the old one out a split pump would make this faster to change in years to come?

[@foordoffroad8915]

In theory yes but that also makes more sealing surface where it can leak, and if it leaks from the back then you’ve got to pull everything off anyway You can do it either way but for a once in 5 years job I prefer the one piece pump

[@brendanwhite8170]

When you say 12mm bolts are you referring to the head of the bolt or shaft.?

[@foordoffroad8915]

The head, as in that is the socket size you will need

[@brendanwhite8170]

Great video.

[@richardperry4115]

Just bought timing belt kit and water pump , with hard gasket. What’s the trick with gasket, would you put hard gasket on dry . Cheers mate great channel.

[@foordoffroad8915]

When you say hard gasket do you mean metal or like cardboard? If metal then yes dry but if like cardboard type then put some aviation gasket sealant on both sides

[@richardperry4115]

Yer metal one , I thought that would be the case but just making sure. Cheers mate. Keep up the hilux vids.

[@alftorrisi8795]

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. My pump has developed a leak at 316K. Time to hook in. That cordless angled wrench you use … what brand if you don’t mind? Looks really handy.

[@foordoffroad8915]

It’s one of the most useful tools that I own, it’s a Milwaukee 3/8 battery ratchet

[@chickencaronline6362]

Anyone thinking of doing this job should fit a replacement 2-piece factory pump. It is a smarter upgrade that means next time you dont need to remove 1/2 the engine to replace the pump again .

[@foordoffroad8915]

Depends which bit fails I much prefer to have one gasket surface instead of two The back gasket fails and you end up doing the whole lot again anyway

[@jaybajan]

mate, i recently discovered i have coolant leaking from the water pump on my 2014 hilux. can you please just give me a brief list of parts that I should buy and change while I have to no change this water pump?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Pretty much just the water pump and gasket, timing belt, tensioner, idler and cam seal all comes as a kit (depending how old it is, if it’s been done recently then reuse it) thermostat and gasket and if you want to at the same time since it has to come off anyway the drive belt and tensioner

[@jaybajan]

@@foordoffroad8915 thank you

[@josemeza7755]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍excelente

[@Jimmy_Saf]

Hey mate I’ve done this job but my starter motor is not engaging now. Never had an issue with it prior. Do you know what could be causing this?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Did you disconnect the battery before touching the alternator, may have sparked between something and blown a fuse

[@thewoodsmanthedog9836]

Fantastic video mate. When removing the cam belt do you need the kit to replace it or can you reuse the old parts? Mine was done not so long ago but if it’s coming off it makes sense to just replace.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Up to you if you replace the belt, if it hasn’t been in there long then I’d leave it There is another video on my channel how to replace the belt with the rest of the parts still in the engine bay but it’s so much easier to replace it while everything is out of the way

[@callumwilson8126]

Fuck! What a mission! Good work mate, I think ill just send this to my mechanic

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks mate, yeah it is a bit of a job to get done

[@rodrickjambarufo5591]

I change the water pump but didn't set the timingbelt

[@troydickinson9594]

Hi mate whats the torque specs Nm on the idler pulleys?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Not 100% sure sorry, just do them up firm but not over tight

[@saulmccredie2728]

Will the waterpump be changed @ 150,000 service with timing belt? If not, when should it be done?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Would be ideal if it was but it will only ever be changed when it starts to Leak

[@CamperKev]

I am about to change my timing belt at 150K. I'm replacing the water pump, fan belt, tensioner and all pulley bearings at the same time. Then it's all good for another 150K 😁

[@otabash]

Does anyone know if the water pump also needs to be replaced when replacing the timing belt kit at 150k?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Generally it doesn’t need to be replaced until it leaks or the bearing is worn out, but if you want to replace it for piece of mind with the timing belt then it’s up to you

[@otabash]

@@foordoffroad8915 Thank you very much for your reply. That actually gives me piece of mind.

[@foordoffroad8915]

No worries, there is a seperate video on my channel of just the timing belt replacement without removing anything else if you want to check it out 👍

[@otabash]

@@foordoffroad8915 Thank you. I will definitely watch it 🤙🏼

[@sb-fj4er]

How long do the factory water pumps normally last generally ? ….I’m about to do my timing belt and my mechanic tells me not to do it until it leaks

[@mrc6177]

This water pump replacement is like having to remove a door to change a tyre.

[@mrc6177]

thanks

[@shaunowen5907]

I clicked my fingers but the radiator is still there

[@foordoffroad8915]

😂😂 it’s all about the technique of the “click”

[@JasonMcNally]

I bought a hilux a little while ago at 155,000km. It has the sticker for the timing belt done at 150,000km so I just assumed that they did the water pump at the same time as any good mechanic would do... I'm now at 170,000km and I thought "time for me to do the injectors and an intake clean". So I call the mechanic that did the timing belt and asked if they knew the last specs on the injectors and out of interest I thought I would check if they actually did the water pump..... turns out, they had it all apart and didn't bother to do it. What the actual fuck.... Also, just a question mate, I can take the belt off that they replaced and all the other stuff to change the water pump yeah? Like it doesn't need another new belt or anything special? Also, I'm guessing it's 100% necessary to take everything off that you did just to get to the water pump? Do I need to remove the radiator?

[@foordoffroad8915]

It is common to replace just the belt, normally it would be recommended to do everything You can re use the belt and all components but you will need a little pin to hold the tensioner back in And you can do it with the radiator in the car but for the extra 30 mins it takes to get out makes the rest of the job so much easier

[@JasonMcNally]

Alright, I'll take your advice and take the radiator out. I wish I would have thought of that before I replaced the coolant, bloody dickhead I am haha. When you say a pin, what do you mean? Do you have a video for reference? Cheers mate. You're not in Queensland by any chance are you?

[@JasonMcNally]

I guess another question I would have then if it's common only replace the belt is at what km should I be changing the water pump? It's just clocked over 170,000km

[@foordoffroad8915]

You’ll see in the video there is a pin in the tensioner that I pull out when I’m done, you need to very slowing compress the tensioner in a vice and put it in, you can use a small Allen key if you don’t have the pin Also the Hilux has a drain plug so should be able to drain most of the coolant into a clean container and use it again

[@karmann1799]

Should have bought the water pump off toyota. Its a 2 piece replacement so you dont need to pull the engine apart to get to all bolts.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yes that does make it easier next time….if it’s the front seal that leaks but Murphy’s law says it won’t be and you’ll be pulling the whole thing off again anyway

[@1I2am3Dani4]

Aisin also manufactures the central pump piece without the whole housing, it´s model number WPT-113.
