- Hey guys, here we have part 3 of our timing belt series. MAJOR tip on how to get the water pump out without taking out the cam gear! We ran into issues with the power steering pump bracket. We also have one of my best tricks to hold the timing belt to the crank. It's easier than it looks. Enjoy!
When I mess with timing belts, I always mark the little indicators with a paint pen so it's a lot easier to see. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be and this helps a lot.
or Tippex/Liquid Paper 😉
Same here
I'm a firm believer that certain critical components must be oem and others you can get away with aftermarket
I once had an issue with a Cavalier that still amazes me to this day. I would get codes that a cylinder was misfiring. I opened the hood to find a fluid inside a spark plug canal on a cylinder. I couldn't see where the fluid was coming from. I had my wife start the car and I still couldn't see any fluid coming from anywhere. She started playing with the steering wheel and a banjo on the power steering rack started shooting fluid onto the serpentine which flung the fluid right onto the spark plug. Turns out somebody cross-threaded the bolt on the rack and decided not to tell anyone causing the steering fluid to do some advanced acrobatics.
It was nice to see that your used a quality timing belt kit.
Awesome job, but those pine needles covering the cowl are killing me. lol
When my son and I changed the timing belt and water pump on our 2003 Toyota Avalon, we took all the gears off so we could change the cam and crank shafts seals.
That was 11:43 of my life I'll never get back...but what the heck, I'd probably have been reading a cereal otherwise. That beeping torque wrench...old days before torque was invented, it was finger tight, pretty tight, tight and knuckle-busting hernia tight.
Now when I get home I'm going to look at the timing belt I took out my Honda to see if it has those little arrows. As many cars I have worked on, I have never seen that, unless it's a Toyota thing.
Let us know, I am curious too.
Honda doesn't have them. The arrows are on the Toyota belt because the cam/crank sprocket marks are on the belt. If you put the belt on the other way the marks won't line up. Honda doesn't use the marks. When I do Hondas, I make my own marks on the cam/crank sprockets and the old belt, then transfer the marks to the new belt.
Sad to see Tech's girlfriend doesn't make an appearance this episode. She is such a talented, hardworking women.

I’m doing this job on my RX300 this weekend, you’re a lifesaver!!!
Saturday is part 4, Will it Start?
Perfect timing for me to watch
Really hoping that tensioner is being replaced. Also not a big fan of using anything to 'hold' the belt to the crank cog (do not care to hear about how little force is being used). There's already a keeper there for install assist. Realizing that filming the thing you're doing is introduces a lot of challenges within itself, offering the belt from the top down keeps you from dragging the shiny new belt over all that flavor and coolant on the frame. It's like I'm watching a half truth, your info about most of the things you're doing is correct. It's the other half (methodology) that I find troubling. I've taught quite a few folks how to perform timing belt services on many different makes and models. There was a time when many techs in the area I worked in would not touch a timing belt job (most of these guys were straight old-school techs and just weren't a fan of risking bending valves on something they didn't want to take the time to understand. Just like with anything else in the world of auto repair, following directions is key to a successful job. I have no doubt that you've done a gracious plenty of these yourself with no issues. Again, I am NOT doubting skill or ability. I'm just saying that not everyone who watches your vids has that advantage. Not warning about contaminating the belt is just as bad as saying 'It'll be fine'. At any rate, I bid you good day and good fortune.
Great tips for sure. You are a great teacher. 👍🏻
Is the gremlin with tourettes not working today? Awfully quiet in the background for this video. Great stuff CSW!
Lmaoooo “Ohhhhh now that’s a W.A.W.P.”
Very good, Vince!
👍🏻😎I changed a ton of timing belts on 2.3L Ford's back in the 80's and 90's when I was a Ford mechanic.
I've done a few of those myself. That was a very good engine, imo. Around 2000 model year I started to notice it was quite easy to waffle the crank pulley
I'm replacing my water pump, pulleys, thermostat gasket, hoses, and valve cover gaskets on my Explorer currently. Taking a break watching some youtube 🙂
Pretty easy job on those however I recommend RTV on the water pump gasket. They like to have problems sealing
Look up the Mini ductor venom. It uses heat induction to get bolts or nuts red hot without damaging everything in it's proximity like a torch does. It's a great tool and worth every penny.
Never seen one used but in theory it should be good
@@Firecul my friend has the kit and I had used it to replace fuel tank straps on my 04 Tacoma with 300k of new England miles. Works faster than a torch and doesn't disturb everything else. Not to mention no fire hazard. It got out bolts so rusty that they were on a major diet between the threads and the head. If you work with anything rust affected this is a lifesaver.
@@noinstaphil I don't do a lot of work but I'll have a look anyway, always good to know about even if it's not worth me buying it.
If you're flat rate on hours, specialty tools like this are great, if you're hourly it's hard to justify the $600.
Wow, I'm overtired and not wearing my reading glasses. The first time I read your comment, I read Mini Ductape Venom. Oops!
In all seriousness, I have been curious about those induction heaters for some time now
Nice use of the calibrated persuader aka the pry bar that pump went in like butta…
Great video. And some good teaching too!
Thanks for this tip man!!! I just did this job on a 07 rx400h
Can also use a binder clip or a chip clip hold the timing belt on the cam gears
That’s what I do. Works perfectly
Very instructional. It’s good watching! 🍺
Are you working on that at a rave
One of the writers told me that I listen to Night at the Roxberry music. I told her that they featured music I listen to in that movie.
10 more videos and I'll be a certified mechanic 😆
Great video. 👍
I did a job like this a few weeks ago. One of the few good things about California is that I don’t have to deal with all the “flavor” like y’all. Do you charge more labor to deal with all the seized fasteners?
@Mike agree 100%. On the rare occasion that we work on s car from back east we tell customers ahead of time that we are not responsible for seized fasteners and we charge accordingly
I am going to bet you a dollar the customer did not state "WATER PUMP TIMING BELT TRICK!"
You should play the lottery it seems that you luck out and they give you all the good jobs LOL
That gasket's a giggity
You're not afraid to damage your watch while working?
I take it off when needed.
I did a goomba move today when doing a timing belt and forgot to mark the old belt to line up the new belt. Although everything went good and it ran perfect and no timing fauts lol
Another pain in the ass to work on, Toyota. Only preceded by Audi. I don't know how you do it everyday......
Enjoyed 👍👍

I could never work with a watch on.
Was a video about timing tho
How long did it take to do the job?
The timing belt and waterpump, just under 2 hrs. Had to spend some time getting the power steering bolt out.
Hi sir thank u for posting content is brill
"CSW shows you One Weird Trick to changing your timing belt"
What a F'ed up place to put a water pump.
Transversely mounted V6 too. I'd personally never own a car with such a set up.
I'm a scumbag grammar nazi.
It's "Finale"...not "Finally"
Any reason you don't just zip out the tensioner bolts or cut the belt to release the tension?
I was not replacing the tensioner and one of the tensioner bolts was blocked by the power steering bracket that I could not remove.
@@customerstateswhat but but but... I thought you're always supposed to replace the tensioner? Just because it was too hard to break/drill out the PS pump bolt?
@@TheTurpin1234 only Honda/Acura MUST change the tensioner cause they leak/make noise before the belt is due. Toyota can be reset if done correctly.
@@7MGTEsupra89 talking about the timing belt tensioner. The power steering belt on this car uses the pump itself as a tensioner by pivoting it. In this case, he can't get the pivot bolt loose, kinda typical with that style. Pain in the ass. I've had to rig the hell out of those before.
@@7MGTEsupra89 and the bolts for the timing belt tensioner are behind the pivot bracket for the PS pump. So that's why he can't replace it
Customer States WTF!!
The brake fluid looks black coffee.
Really man your the dealer tech and didn't change the cam seals...
They were not leaking. Also that would of been extra. The customer didn't want to replace the idler nor the tensioner. Do you really think they would change a non leaking seal???
Almost 69k subs, yeah buddy. RUclips bh bouncing off your nose
The goal is 100k by the end of the year. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!!
Some of the cars he works on with the extreme flavor chips shouldn't be on the road. I know from trips to Europe, Japan, and England. cars like his would never pass roadworthy inspections.
WHAT ENGINE PLEASE?
3.3 v6 Toyota later models of Highlander had a 3.6 I think
3.3
Anyone know the reason water pumps leak from their weep hole? Giggity.
The seals fail. Yes, I said it. I said I blew a seal. Just fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?! -- Kip Addotta's "Wet Dream"
It's an indication of seal failure. Also it's like a warning before the big warning lol
I can no longer visit the zoo for this very reason.
@Mike was it mayonnaise?
What? A beeping torque wrench?
Don't let Ray see this....
Customer pay for the whole job not for the shortcut. have to make money on flat rate jobs. You worked at audi to long(newton meter).
It's definitely from Land Rover too lmaoooo
Can’t wait to see all the engineering money making bull crap money maker service designs for future EVs.
Ev’s are garbage all around except for their flat torque curve
That customer could have had their vehicle 4hrs sooner if they didn’t have to wait for you to film everything
I did the job well under the book time 😉
@@customerstateswhat So you made money
@@mikefoehr235 That's the idea. We all have bills. I'm an hourly tech but I still hustle. Makes the day go faster
Don't wast your money on oem Toyota parts why to expensive.lol
This is a dealer. They usually use OEM. Something as important as timing equipment you do not want to take any chances with junk.
