How to replace a fan belt on toyota rav 4 x reg

clutch ,slave ,throw out bearing going bad --transmission shaft bearing --bad gear --but would look into clutch since you have o push to floor to have noise stop

2004 Rav 4 has a timing belt and not a chain and it can last you about 160k's depending how it was used but replacing it at 100 is a safe margin.Factory installed belts are due for a change at 140k's.

Loosen off the tensioner pulley in order to loosen the belt. First, loosen the bolt in the center of the pulley in order for it to be able to move, then turn the long adjuster bolt off to the side of the pulley in the bracket, and then the position of the pulley will change, allowing you to loosen it enough to get the belt off. Kind of hard to explain, but look for the pulley that is all by itself that doesn't turn anything...that is the one that adjusts the belt.

It is a ***** to change, there is limited room to remove the transmission, it is not something you want to attempt in your driveway

SOMETIMES THE DIAGRAM IS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. OR ON THE WHEEL WELLS INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CHECK UNDER THE HOOD ANYWHERE A STICKER COULD BE. IT MIGHT ALSO BE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL.

the dealership. give them your cars VIN.

I can get you a diagram on monday but it goes from the alternator to the power steering pump then around the tensioner pulley then around the crank pulley then to the a/c compressor then pull on the tensioner to give you some slack and slip it on the waterpump.I hope that helps.Let me know if you still need the diagram

You can register here and get access to the owners manuals (I would think the service guide/recommendations too): http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/Owners/reg.do
