How To Replace Fan Belts On A 2000 Toyota 4 Runner 2.7 Liter

[@gabevalenzuela1356]

Only video I could find for the 2.7, you’re a life saver 10 years later man. Much appreciated 🤘🏼

[@nicholaspawlak5094]

Clear and straight to the point. Thanks.

[@alinwako4509]

Thanks for the instructions. I will replace the belts myself. Great

[@solo0002]

Thanks for that . Belts on my 1995 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 liter finally gave up, but it's the same set up. This video was extremely helpful. Was so much easier on 60s and 70s American vehicles (haha). I think I can whip this out comfortably now.

Thanks for leaving this comment here. A year later I'm doing the belts on this estate truck I bought, a '03. I was wondering if it was the same setup for the 2.4.

Thanks. Great help

[@jimthecarguy]

Steven Carpenter Thank you for your feed back.I hope all went well doing the repair.

[@SCARPENTER290]

Yes great video

[@dubiousjesse]

Thanks for this video. I am going to do my belts on my 01 tacoma this weekend. I just found a power steering leak as well. Is the power steering pump easy to replace?

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.Yes the pump is not bad.If you need the procedure let me know I can send it to you.

[@MainStaysTrashCan]

I am in the middle of changing my belts rights now. I loosened the alternator belt adjustment screws but the alternator will not budge! I tried pulling on the alternator itself and yanking on the belt but the damn thing will not move. Any ideas on what it could be?

[@jimthecarguy]

Blake Caban Hi Blake, There should be a bolt 4:19 of the video and there is also another bolt 4:25 of the video and on the bottom of the alt. that you will need to remove to get out the alt.Good luck.Jim

[@MainStaysTrashCan]

I am not trying to remove the alternator. Just get it to slide forward in order to remove the old belt and replace with a new one. But the alternator is acting as though it is seized in place. Why is this?

[@jimthecarguy]

You need to loosen the 3 bolts in order to remove the fan belt.

[@HaydenHancock0]

+Blake Caban I am having the same issue. Were you able to resolve?

[@MainStaysTrashCan]

Yes, there is a nut on the back of the bottom bolt that he doesn't mention. You will need to grab both simultaneously in order to actually loosen the bolt.

[@bayareavr]

Thank you for posting this! I thought I would have to remove radiator shroud and fan. Glad I watched your video, I think it will save me sometime tomorrow! Thanks again!!!

[@jimthecarguy]

Happy to help good luck .Let me know how you do .Jim

[@johngsd8419]

2000 4runner 3.4L is my third 4runner and I do most of the work myself. Unfortunately, the rusted adjusting bolt head on the A/C pulley broke off while loosening. What is the best way to replace that bolt? Thank you

[@jimthecarguy]

If you can remove the bracket and spray it with rust buster let it sit for a little while and then try to remove the broken bolt.If that don't work you will need to replace the bracket

[@austin-xs4xx]

very helpful Toyota video rite here. thanks a bunch good stuff.

[@jimthecarguy]

+Austin Kuhr I'm happy to help.Thank you for your feedback

[@zama7477]

"THANK YOU"-Just what I needed to replace my fan belts on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma with 189,568 miles -"GO TOYOTA." ;)

[@sieve5]

Just to clarify: this works on the 2.4L as well. I went to O'riley's auto parts, asked for a new alternator and belts. This video details exactly what you need to do. If the alternator is stuck just rock it back and forth and the bolt holding it in will come out.

[@gregcox7477]

This video made the job a piece of cake.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching and your feedback.

[@dmvail1]

what size are the bolts? are they all the same? Thank you.

[@dmvail1]

12mm and 14mm just in case anyone else needs to know.

[@Tankerpaul223]

thanks, very helpful!!

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for stopping by the shop

[@pentergraph]

Great video. I'm about to do the belts on mine it helped a lot. On average how long did this take u to do... Looks like you did no editing so I'm assuming 15 mins or so

[@jimthecarguy]

+pentergraph I did a little editing on the video so it will take you around 1 hr to complete if all the bolts come out without a problem.Let me know how you do.

[@pentergraph]

+jimthecarguy, once I had worked out what bolts were what it took 40mins, I found the hardest belt was the alternator as it only had so much give.

[@fiverows2634]

Brilliant. Thankyou

[@sieve5]

Thank youuuu; Liked the video and subscribed to repay you!

[@skabootykat]

the only bad one on mine is the one closest to the motor{alternator}. guess i'll have to remove all the belts to do it.
