[@jefferyturner517]

Wow; bigger job than I was hoping. Intimidating somewhat for sure. Thanks for your time & instruction.

[@jims4877]

Found your video...saved it to WATCH LATER list as part of my pre-emptive strike list for this job. Thanks.

[@Nwwoods]

That cover is a timing chain inspection cover, seems like they always leak.. Thanks for the great video👍👍

[@iantol8504]

bro… i super appreciate your clear explanation… cool n calm narration … i learned a lot from this… pls make more 4runner repair videos… got a 2006 4runner… newbie diy here… thanks for making this instructional video…👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@bundysgarage]

Thanks for watching. I have a video for the spark plugs and the timing chain tensioner inspection cover oil leak fix.

[@CaseyChambliss]

Thank you for showing how to replace the thermostat housing (held on with 5 bolts). This is the best video I've found that shows how to do it. Sucks that you have to remove the radiator fan and shroud to get to it, but now I know. Looking forward to trying this in my attempt to replace knock sensors.

[@damonleeb]

Great video 1a auto video makes it so much more complicated

[@bundysgarage]

Thanks that means a lots. Also A1 Parts or they call themselves LTQ now. They DO NOT have the best prices! They sell inferior parts at a high cost. If you want to buy quality parts (NGK, Aisin, Denso) for a great price check out rockauto.com

[@sandyburs8394]

Hey mate...yep an Aussie here. Firstly thanks for your very informative KZbin clip, it helped and gave me confidence to do the job myself. I have just removed the water pump from my Dad's '09 1grfe hilux that has done only 80,000k''s yep that's roughly only 50,000 miles, it was leaking fairly badly from the weep hole on the W/P. Yes I was surprised too but, 100% one owner and can confirm from factory it has RTF on the long bolts and a slight smear on W/P gasket. So will be doing the same on refit. All the best and keep up the good work. Thanks again mate 👍

[@CRAFTSMANFISHING]

That square metal whit 4 bolts where oil leaks is the tensioner for the timing chain.

[@albgonzalez6367]

Love this video primo. I built the confidence to do this job

[@michaelleipski9030]

The RTV Sealent on the end of the 12mm bolts is factory applied. Not a bad idea to clean up and reapply with new pump.

[@colinkeeney7187]

Great video. Super helpful thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@paulreichert7132]

Excellent video well done. Thanks much for the detailed explanation and tips for replacing the pump and tensioner components.

[@bundysgarage]

Glad it helped you out!

[@thihan]

Your video will help me in the future. It was very helpful thank you!

[@randyhopkins952]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@chrislevengood7119]

Thanks man! This was very helpful.

[@bundysgarage]

Hopenotnhelped you save money!

[@themechanic8195]

Holy, thats alot of work im doing mine now as prevention

[@pdxsquid]

Thanks sir, changed mine out with the help from this video. Also did the tensioner, that was a PITA.

[@miniman101]

next time, just change the idler, its a left hand thread btw. its alot easier than doing the whole bracket and such

[@chez9303]

It’s an inspection cover for the timing chain.

[@bundysgarage]

Thanks

[@rosibelrodriguez3364]

Excellent ty👍

[@automovement.official]

Nice bro

[@hasmatman50]

Great video. Did you replace the smaller hoses behind the thermostat housing? if so, do you have a link ? i can't seem to find them. thanks in advance.

[@TheDesertRat31]

I didn't see the link to the timing chain inspection cover. But I'll go through your videos

[@deniseandmarkfirestine7443]

The little steel door is for the timeing chain tensioner inspection, I didn’t take my radiator shroud out to change my pump. Just drop the fan to the bottom and wrench away. Little tight but not too bad. Also, those 12mm bolts have rtv from factory. Anyway, good job. You have the timeing cover leak just like me. They’re not that bad but it is not worth it to me to fix the timing cover leak. I just keep an eye on it.

[@nicholasjones7774]

Top comment for info. this is all true. also the timing cover leak is verrrry common which is why i like you use of "The" timing cover leak haha

[@mendoblendo321]

Same. Very common issue on the 4.0. I wouldn't even bother wirh it

[@AAT287]

@deniseandmarkfirestine7443 I’ve also got a timing cover leak but am just monitoring it. Is there a good way to clean the surrounding areas to get an idea of how much is leaking? I’ve ordered brake parts cleaner but am hearing that is not good to use on the engine.

[@danielturrentine2488]

Thank you for your very helpful explanation of this patients zapping procedure. I am about to get stated. I am having problems getting all the hoses I want to change out all the hoses that come and go to and from the Thermostat housing/Water inlet housing. There are 7 different ones. I got the obvious ones: 2 to the radiator , 2 to the oil cooler, How do you identify the others. The parts houses are no help.

[@bundysgarage]

That would be a question for the Toyota Dealership

[@CaptainFALKEN]

I've replaced the belt like 3 times already and before it gets to the shredded part where it quiets down, sounds like a million crickets chirping. Found out.. it's the water pump bearings making it unaligned and shredding. 2009

[@alale923]

Hey i thought i had a fan clutch issue on my 06 v6 4runner. At idle it really was making an ugly wobbling sound and was coming from the fan. Replaced the clutch and same noise. Took it off again and noticed my water pump pulley has the wobble. Not originating from my fan or clutch but reverberates through it at idle. Dont see any coolant leaks at all and im crazy abt leaks. Should i be worried abt driving at the moment? Would i have catastrophic failure if the pulley gives on me? Im abt to go buy another car and jus want to know if im ok to drive my runner.

[@8825able1]

Did you mention the torque for the idle tensioners?

[@richardstone5241]

I'm going to do this to mine this summer. Yes, I'm going to replace the tensioner and (all the rubber hoses associated) I think it's best to do so. After all, you're in to it this far why not? Then, should be good to go for another 100,000 miles.................right?

[@mendoblendo321]

Yes

[@fishboy3179]

Better leave a nut on the clutch so when you bust it loose from the pump it doesnt land in the radiator

[@miniman101]

Was there anything else aside from the water pump gasket, and thermostat "triangle" gasket that you needed to change? im looking to do this and want to make sure i get all the parts i need ahead of time... also think that square cover is leaking on my engine, ill pull it off while im in there... was there much for leakage or did you figure out exactly what its for? thanks

[@bundysgarage]

Here is a video on the parts you need as well as a link to the parts on Amazon in the video description if you need them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5uthJeFd8eFhs0si=GEOvd4XMvrq2xbyC

[@noevqz007]

Are those two hoses you have listed in the description from amazon the hose you are removing at time code 12:34 into your video?

[@bundysgarage]

The ones in the description are the upper and lower radiator hoses. Check out this video that shows in details the parts used: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5uthJeFd8eFhs0feature=shared

[@noevqz007]

Thank you

[@beast11135]

So most of what you replaced Is only If you want to replace while down there already right? Because I'm doing a repair for my lotential future mother in law so she can save money and she can't afford the extra parts. The water pump is the only part that's leaking and Is bad.

[@rafaelaquino2872]

Hi. When would be the cost to replace it.

[@playstereo]

Your oil leak comes from the timing chain cover.. all Tacomas tend to have that issue. You will have to reseal it to fix it.. It's a big job.. but for the looks of it you can do it.

[@JoeVan]

So about the mileage, I'm just changing one that I bought new in 2005. 224K, water pump is just now starting to seep. As surprising as it may have been, that very well could have been the original you had in your hand

[@bundysgarage]

They will last a long long time especially if you have an OE water pump and run the proper ratio of coolant. The worst thing you could do is run water in a cooling system. It rusts the engine from the inside out.

[@timparker3272]

When is it actually recommended by the manufacturer to replace the actual Tensioner itself?

[@docsamson2299]

My truck is an '09 with just over 200k on it. I had my mechanic put a new tensioner in after I changed my belt and idler pulleys because the holding tab snapped off. I assumed it was on it's way to failure but my mechanic said it was still in good condition. Wish he'd mentioned that BEFORE doing the job! As long as your belt isn't slipping or chirping, I think it's fine and doesn't have a specific replacement recommendation...

[@shottashabazz6721]

How long do water pumps last? I have a 2014 4Runner I got from a dealership a few years back with 68,000 miles on it. I have 81,000 miles on it now. I have had it over 4 years but I don’t drive it much. Where I stay every place I need to go is a few minutes away including my job which is two minutes max driving distance.

[@bundysgarage]

Your water pump will last forever as long as it’s an original water pump from Toyota and not an aftermarket one someone installed before you got the truck.

[@shottashabazz6721]

Thanks for responding Chief. You got a new subscriber.

[@bundysgarage]

Thanks for subscribing Champ

[@8825able1]

designed to last 100,000 miles or so.

[@Winslow273]

My 2008 4Runner has 351,000 original miles and counting. Still has the original WP. I do SLLC (Pink) coolant changes every 100K miles. Your coollant looked like LLC (Red).

[@venturafredis]

How many hours take you to done this job

[@bundysgarage]

It took me about 4 hours but if this is your first time doing all this work, give yourself 6 - 8 hours.

[@venturafredis]

@@bundysgarage Thank you I have a 2005 4Runner V-8

[@rosibelrodriguez3364]

Juuu huh good question a list 6H.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

@@bundysgarage 6-8 hours jesus...I thought max 2.5-3h work... I mean I know that there is no need to remove the whole thermostat housing and that Toyo has a lot's of screw down there...but still is sounds a lot 6-8h. Any torque specs on water pump? Thanks

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

@@bundysgarage Oh I just saw torque specs...great video anyway. I have a Land Cruiser 120 with 1gr-fe engine. Everything under the hood is 1/1 with other models of Toyo. Thanks a lot👍👏👏👏

[@johnkalpooner08]

Bolts call for sealant

[@bundysgarage]

Why?

[@nxtgen2b416]

Whats rtv??

[@bundysgarage]

RTV Room Temperature Vulcanizing. Here is a link to the best stuff I have found for any make car or truck, motorcycle, boat, etc: amzn.to/3zlUGw3

[@SlickDiecast]

😅 plastic “blaud”. You sounded like Dacrula for sure!

[@oncemoreintothefray2766]

Timing cover

[@dalebusta1542]

I think I can ...

[@skuuubasteve14]

Not from toyota. But I'd tighten and torque middle out. You iron it out

[@jeepchievous]

Noobe tah papitas.

[@bartholomewterbinstein6235]

You should have discontinued your battery before taking off your fan, could have lost your hand mate

[@bundysgarage]

I knew where the key was and no was going to start the vehicle and that fan is not going to start spinning on it's own. So I felt safe no disconnecting the battery, but if you feel that's what you need to do, then do it.

[@michaelleipski9030]

Fan is not electric will not start unless you start the motor.

[@bundysgarage]

Right!
