Serpentine belt blew due to belt wheel sheering off

2004 toyota carolla engine, serpentine belt just wore through and one of the wheels on the belt blew or sheered off or something, causing the belt to wear through and come off it's track. No power steering now, no alternator, bc belt isn't working. What's wheel's name that wore through or how do I replace it? It's almost like it sheered off or something.

Idler/tensioner pulley has had some problems on this model. Change it and put on a new belt and your back in business.

Serpentine belt diagram, 2004 toyota camry

This is more of a question than an answer,..but it appears no one seems to know anything about identifying which serpentine belt to use,..there are two listed for the 2004 Toyota Camry 2.4 liter engine. One belt is designed for engines with the "enhancement" and another belt was designed for 2.4 liter engines WITHOUT the "enhancement" My question here is,..How do you know if your 2004 Toyota Camry has this "Enhancement" installed or not.

How to remove the serpentine belt of a 2004 toyota

Actually you don't have to do all of that. I just replaced one from the top. On the passenger side of the engine where the belt is, you will see the tensioner in the middle. Using a larger breaker bar with the socket that fits the bolt in the middle of the wheel, force the tensioner toward the front of the car to release pressure to remove the belt. I think it was a 15mm but can't remember for sure. I do know they are all metric sizes on that engine. The tricky part is to remember how the belt is routed. If you forget, see the diagram below. There isn't much room to work, but I'm proof that it is possible. When putting the new best on, route all pulleys and leave the alternator for last since it's right on top and easy to get to. Good luck and be patient. It's doable.85ddd91.jpg

One of the wheels on the serpentine belt sheered off or came off. It's not the wheel attached to the alternator or power steering unit, but a different one. It breaking down caused the belt to wear through...

You have several pulleys in the drive system, you have already noticed that one is altenator,power steering. There is one for the water pump and there should be at least two more, one on an arm called the tensioner pulley bolted with one bolt through the middle, the other is mounted with one bolt through the middle called the idler pulley, one swings and the other does not. Should come off by removing the center bolt. Remember the belt routing, so you can install the new belt. Hope this helps, let me know.

How do I locate tension wheel to replace serpntne belts 04 sentra

The serpentine belt runs everyting under the hood...easiest way to locate the tension wheel is to look at every other wheel that the belt runs to.

Your tension wheel will be where the belt runs without being in a V channel, the tension wheel will be flat..no grooves to accomodate the belt.

Hope this helps
