Need direction for belt replacement for 2004 avalon
Big job to do......You begin by draining the coolant into a container, removing right-front tire, crank-pulley straight up, taking-out the belt-cover...etc....why not get the popular Hanyes repair manual sold for under $20/copy? Timing-belt, alternator, a/c it explains it all. Or better still, avoid possible engine damage, take to shop.
I have a New Fan Belt or I guess it is called the alternator belt for a 2001 Toyota Avalon. It looks like there is a screw that will loosed the belt on the bottom side of the alternator. If I loosen that screw is it kind of like a tensioner will that loosed the belt enough to slide off and replace the new one? Or is ther something else to do when you replace that belt?
you need to loosen the alternator pivot bolt on top for the alternator to slide back down after you slackened the adjuster bolt.
