By watching this video I had success in replacing the timing belt in my car, all I had to do was, follow all the instructions you gave in the video. thanks!! you are a really good teacher, thanks again.
I just got all that done plus a new harmonic balancer which was wobbling. New plugs and wires. Oil pump gasket , new valve cover gasket and transmission serviced. 1995 Camry same engine with 210,800 on it. Still runs great.. Expecting to keep it for another 100,000 miles or more..
Thanks for your video. My wife paid a "reputable" shop 500.00 to replace the timing belt on our 99 Camry around 150,000 miles and the belts snapped at around 200,000 miles. The mechanic who helped me later (At another shop in another state) said it had it's OEM tensioner, so he really doubted that the original mechanic actually did the work. We got a new Camry so I'll be doing the job myself. It's hard to trust the shop if they say they did it when it's buried inside and no way of verifying it was done. But a good thing is that you're only inconvenienced if your belt snaps because your engine won't be damaged. That's really good to know.
Thumbs up on this video. With out it I would have certainly screwed things up. Yes we are supposed to read the service manual before attempting to replace a timing belt but just watching him channel through all of the auto equipment and parts made my job much easier. Thanks a bunch.
Thank You!!! My middle daughter's Camry had the timing belt go. It's only a few days before she starts college so I am pressed for time. This video makes it very clear. Excellent.
Great show, 205,000 miles on these cars are just getting broke in if you keep the oil and filter changed every 3000 to 3500 miles. I had 327,000 miles on my 2000 Camry several years ago when it got hit and totaled it out. It would still be running if it had not been for this. I did 3 timing belt and water pump replacements on it and the last time I change them I changed the crankshaft front seal, camshaft seals, oil pump o-ring and valve cover gasket at about 300,000 miles. This stopped all oil leaks and it was still very reliable, was driving it 120 miles a day to and from work. You covered everything that needed to be covered great job. I had to support the motor from the bottom when I did mine, not sure if I had to but did it anyway.
This is a job I need to do, but have been putting off. However, your video presented this procedure in an excellent manner and I am looking forward to getting my 93 Camry back on the road! Thank you!
One technique I used to take that front pulley main bolt (my torque wrench couldn't do it even at 120psi) off was to put a breaker bar against the front or the rear subframe, disconnect all the spark plug and crank the car for 1/2 sec. Took it right off!
I just changed the timing belt in our newly acquired 99 Camry with the help of this video. GREAT video sir! Very helpful without any fluf and repetitive talk. Straight to the point and well edited. Thanks!! By the way, what type of ratchet wrenches are those? For example, the ratchet wrench that you used to remove the 14mm alternator bolt....what is that. It looks amazingly awesome. Thanks!!!
Great video........but one question....how do you know a seized water pump wasnt the cause of the timing belt breakage? I notice you're only replacing the belt. Im facing this very dilemma right now as my 2000 Camry died while stopped at a stop light and it's most certainly the timing belt that broke. The thing is Ive read quite a bit that when this happens it's usually due to the water pump seizing. Once again....great video
If the water pump turns freely without any obvious resistance, then it should be good to re-use. Timing belts usually fail when idling or during switch off or start up due to the jerkiness of the camshafts at low speeds. Water pumps are either turning okay or generally seized. Hope that helps :)
Did you have to replace the timing belt roller, and the tensioner pully, or was that a preventative maintenance choice? Basically, can you replace the timing belt without replacing the roller and the tensioner?
Great Vid! Just had this done on a 95 camry 2.2 strange rattling noise and got louder over time thought waterpump but turned out to be Crankshaft drive gear at the end of your vid. Drives the timing belts, the keyway gets worn and slop in the gear and nasty noise. typical noise of camry on RUclips! Replace the gear, $37 bucks A Toyota part though.
Great video RnW, it helped me out a lot I must ask, since my car is a 1997 Toyota Camry I4 2.2L (5S-FE), I started my car up on today (1/3/2017) and it ran fine for a few minutes, then it stayed hovering between 500-750 RPM, then it sputtered and my car shut off. So, now I'm I think it's time to change my timing belt. I need to know, what is the most important parts to replace when replacing the timing belt. I can find a TB replacement, but not all kits come with everything. I don't want to have to buy multiple kits just to get everything.
No, some 4 cylinders have chains for timing, if they break they damage the engine. Strange, some v6's have belts and are non interference. I know this for the 2005 year model. Can't say for sure about that year.
Great Video! I've been watching it repeatedly for the last 2-3 days in preparation to replace the Oil pump gasket, O-ring, camshaft seal, and crankshaft seal on my 98 Camry. I have a question - what is the correct way to remove the 14mm bolt in front of the cam shaft sprocket? If I use a socket and ratchet and rotate it counter clockwise will that cause the engine to rotate counter clockwise? Or will the bolt spin independently? I don't have access to a compressor gun. Can I use the engine bump method with that bolt? Thank you!
I need patience.....i do have 1 mechanic who is a close friend...and is honest ..and i don't mind paying him to do this......i don't have a garage....but good luck to you any way....great video.....
This is from the 1994 Factory Service Manual for the 4 Cylinder engine: Water Pump COVER to water pump bolts (3) - 82 INCH/lbs. Water Pump to engine bolts (3) - 82 INCH/lbs. Water inlet to water pump nuts (2) - 78 INCH/lbs. INCH, not feet. Stay gold.
Believe it or not, I watch your videos for general knowledge. I park my car in a hood with open shared garage and so I cant trust opening up my car like this or when I come back in the morning the only thing that would be left is the oil leaks on the ground.
You probably know this already, that wrench he's using is sold at Harbor Freight. It has a 3/8 on one end and a 1/4 on the other for sockets. Its a ratchet wrench and it is flexible, tilts on both ends. Seen this on a different video and that's where they mentioned they got it.
Hi. This is a great video however. I have a head gasket job to do on the previous model camry the two litre 87/92 model .while it looks like much the same engine as the 2.2 there seem to be issues around accessing the timing belt area .Ive been told that may have to remove engine mounts etc .can you shed any light before i start pulling things apart .unfortunately i cannot find any videos relating to this particular engine. thanks
When I go to remove the bolt on the pulley the pulley moves. So I cannot break it free. And my bolt on the pulley is 3/4 inch. Any advice/help will be appreciated.
+Typey1 Hi, bigger valves help with the breathing and the smaller combustion chamber helps with compression.. end result valves and pistons occupying the same space at different times. Hope that helped.
An impact wrench will take it right off. You can put two long bolts in the holes of the harmonic balancer and hold with a prybar, while loostening the crankshaft bolt with a breaker bar. I put the crank bolt in without the balancer, and had to use a Lowe's Kobalt slinder pipe wrench on the shaft and use a breaker bar to get the bolt out. Then had to sand the gouges out of the shaft to get the harmonic balancer back on.
This is not really a very good video. I just finished my fifth time installing a timing belt on a 2.2L Toyota. Three times to changes seals on a previous car and twice on the current on, first to replace a broken idler bolt and then to replace a broken timing belt. The most challenging part of the job is removing the triangle bracket. The tool I use is a double flex head 1/4-3/8 driver. A normal socket will be too short to provide clearance and a 3/8 deep reach will be too long. You will need either a medium reach socket or a 1/4 drive socket. My advice when you do this job is to change everything. This means, all seals, the tensioner, the idler, the water pump and the belt itself. I developed this rule from experience. The reason why I had to do the job twice on my present vehicle is because I did not follow my own advice. I did change all the seals, and replaced the water pump and the broken idler bolt but not the belt itself because it supposedly had only 30,000 miles on it. Many people dislike timing belts. Timing chains have their disadvantages too. A timing belt systems allows you to change everything on the front of the engine all at once, but if you do not do so, you are setting yourself up for future trouble - maybe just a redo, or maybe a failure and being stranded.
Mr. Wrenches have you ever replaced the fuel filter on that vehicle? If so how did you do it? I tried doing mine and when I put a crescent wrench on it I figured out that the inline nut was rounded off. Do you know if I need to make new lines or is there an easier way. Your video on the timing belt was very helpful thank you.
The nut on the bottom of the fuel filter can be essentially welded to the filter due to corrosion. Sometimes even a good flare wrench and solvent won't be able to remove it. It's difficult to reach which makes matters worse. Sometimes a length of line near the filter needs to be cut off. A new nut and a new piece of fuel line need to be used with the end flared using a flaring tool that matches the fitting of the filter. On the 3rd generation Camry it's a common inverted flare fitting like what is used on the brake lines. The new section of line is coupled to the existing fuel line using a coupler, preferably one that doesn't require flaring which would be difficult to do in-place on the vehicle.
I did this and the car is running smooth, except the temperature gauge goes all the way to hot. The car is not overheating though. I replaced thermostat but it is still overheating according to gauge. I put the heater on and air comes out warm.
Do you advice changing the pulleys? A mechanic told me pulleys don't go bad and to just change TB and water pump. Or is this some evil business strategy to spend another $400-600 dollars to change out the pulleys?
+Moon “Moonlight” light Yes always change the idler and the tensioner for the timing belt. They are basically bearings and if they fail the timing belt will snap. The mechanic might have been talking about the camshaft gear or the crankshaft gear or he may not have been a mechanic at all..lol

Thanks dude, just saved me $600, only issue engine mount took me 2 hours to put back on
The dog bone mount? Why did it take so long?
Great video! Its the best one I can find. Doing this project next week.
Great video! I'm going to work on my Camry. Thank you!
Great video, Very accurate and informative.
You could follow this really for some other Toyota engines too, looks like you could follow it mostly for a 3sfe out of an earlier Camry as well
Nice job....you have been gone for awhile, nice to see your back!

Use a two arm gear puller dont waste time using a harmonic balancer puller. Hook behind the gear
Did you have to replace the timing belt roller, and the tensioner pully, or was that a preventative maintenance choice? Basically, can you replace the timing belt without replacing the roller and the tensioner?
If you put the timing belt and is not aligned properly is there is any way to align the engine TDC without removing the new timing belt again?

9:15 205,000 miles for that car isn't bad. Those cars last forever. It could probably go another 100,000.

No, some 4 cylinders have chains for timing, if they break they damage the engine. Strange, some v6's have belts and are non interference. I know this for the 2005 year model. Can't say for sure about that year.
This was very informative and helpful. Thank you very much. Also, could you tell me what kind of long ratcheting wrenches you’re using in the video?

Thanks for the awesome video!
Why is there no video on how to remove the crank pulley if you DON'T have a impact wrench.
Good video man!
kool video. how did u know it was the timing belt that was keeping the engine from staying on?
Is the crank bolt reverse thread
Ver good video sir, can u made also a video from toyota Corona 4s st 190 car sir, will be very happy for it, thanks.year 94.
Nice vid...as usual..I always ask questions. The 14mm swivelhead wrench..you know i'm gonna ask is that Harbor Freight?
These engines are the same for the 2001 rav4? I was looking st parts online and they list both cars in the title.
excellent Video ! but one question, I want to install water pump, but I want to be sure that torque I have to put the Nuts
This is from the 1994 Factory Service Manual for the 4 Cylinder engine:
Water Pump COVER to water pump bolts (3) - 82 INCH/lbs.
Water Pump to engine bolts (3) - 82 INCH/lbs.

Where is the crankshaft position sensor on this car
i have a 1995 camry 2.2 , does all of these have to be set at 17/8 turn for timing

Just subscribed and notofication
What year is the Camry? Thanks
do you have to mark it to time it?
Do I need to replace the rollers
Well done
Ratchets, do you know if a 1994 Toyota camry is a non interference engine? Would really appreciate it.
The job is the same for a 1989 Camry 4 cylinder?
I would imagine if it uses the same 2.2L 5S-FE engine, then yes. Though I feel this applies only for the 90s and early 2000s.

Great, can u get me the original timing belt for toyota camry 1999 model?
is it exactly on 0 , 10 or 15
Hi rw, why are most engines interference given the great expense of a broken belt or timing issue

My crank shaft spins when i try to loosen the bolt how do stop this
An impact wrench will take it right off. You can put two long bolts in the holes of the harmonic balancer and hold with a prybar, while loostening the crankshaft bolt with a breaker bar. I put the crank bolt in without the balancer, and had to use a Lowe's Kobalt slinder pipe wrench on the shaft and use a breaker bar to get the bolt out. Then had to sand the gouges out of the shaft to get the harmonic balancer back on.

Thank you for the reply. It was a lot of help. I have a new filter now.
No wonder its cost a arm and leg gotta remove alot and shifts
It cost me $1,100 at 130,000 miles on my camry plus new oil pump and water pump...It burns no oil so i had it done..
