Thank you for your video my mechanic friend literally just told me yesterday that I need a new serpentine belt he saw it as he was giving me an oil change.. and I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla . Thank you for your video hopefully the bolt underneath won't break on me.. pray everybody that everything goes smoothly...honk.- honk ..🚗🚘
Came to this video after wondering how the hell I install my serpentine belt in newly restored engine for a 2004 Toyota Corolla, LOL, the thing is I thought the belt would go under that timing flap protruding from the timing cover but then a quick look at your pro drawing of the belt was enough to makes me sight in relieve, LOL. My engine is still out of the bay, I wanted to put it in completed but the compressor still in the bay as AC is sealed, so belt would have to go in after engine is in. Got the same tool as you do here. Gearwrench rocks. Have one from Harbor freight too but can not compare the 2. Thanks for the video.
If you are talking about that rectangular piece of metal, I was looking at that too. My belt snapped. So, I wasn't able to see how it was originally. Replacing the belt may be the easy part. When the belt snapped off, it cause a coolant leak somewhere. I need to locate where. I think it might have hit a hose in the front, but, it wasn't obvious where the leak was coming from.
Thank you guy on this wonderful guide to take the alternator off and showing us how to putnit back on with the diagram drawing of the belt what a good way to show us how to replace the belt thank you again
Yeah it did get bit confusing and complicated to figure it out to put the belt on but I got it and the new belt worked out awesome 👌 have a great new years
I recently changed my coils and spark plugs too! RUclips seriously has great vids and tips of all sorts,I have no mechanic skills,but I sure did feel like one,felt good actually haha 😁
I hear a squeaky noise at low revs when the AC is on. Lasts like 1-2sec until the revs go over 1500. Not idling, only when pulling away. Think it might be the belt or a faulty pulley?
I was driving my car the other day and I got a battery light on the desh. I figured it was the heat of the day getting to the battery or the alternator. Eventually the motors started chugging and I had to pull off on the freeway. After I got home with a tow, and pop the hood, I saw that my serpentine belt was completely obliterated/gone/strings. I guess I had been driving with no belt for a while and just battery power was firing the spark plugs. What's the worst that could happen. I'm going to replace the belt today sept 14, 2023. Crappy few years it has been :[
Jack up the car, USE A JACK STAND, then do most of the work putting the belt on from underneath. I just got done with this job. I fought that stupid belt for 2 solid hours and got nowhere. Then I jacked my car up and I got the belt on in 7 minutes. I can't believe all these videos are telling people to do this from the top, when it's SO MUCH easier to do from below. I get that a lot of people won't have a jack and stand to do this, but it's almost worth it to go out and buy them just for this job. I would have given up if I hadn't tried it this way.
Todd, yr recommended tools, it seems it does not work on our 2005 Corolla, because the socket with 19 blot could not fit into the belt screw! It looks its have a side-long- metal box over there and the room is too small for the wrench to put into. Can you tell us how to go further?
@@neillarsen6037 I'm planning on working on this tomorrow. On a 2007 Corolla S. I agree that it looked like there wasn't enough room for a socket. It looked like a wrench would be needed instead.
@@neillarsen6037 Did you figure it out? I found out there is a separate bolt shaped piece of metal on the tensioner arm itself. That one is 19mm. This is separate from the bolt that attaches the tensioner itself to the engine, which appears to be 17mm. That one is too close to the side of the engine compartment to use a socket on. The one that you're supposed to use has enough room. It's not really a real bolt. It's a piece of metal that is part of the tension that is shaped like a bolt.

I just replaced my 2005 Corolla serpentine belt today. Advice: Use the VIN number to get the correct belt. The guy at the parts store went off the normal information of Year and Model, gave me a belt that was slightly too long. After wrestling to get get the new belt on with its prepackaged tight bends, finally getting around and on all the pulleys, I discovered the belt tensioner was not going to tighten it properly. So disappointing! Thus another trip back to the store. This time I gave the VIN number and Hello Kiddos, this belt was the right belt. Why didn’t this guy show the difficulty getting the belt on? Because he knows the new belt doesn’t go back on as easily as the old one came off as! That’s why! BTW, the old and original serpentine belt had 176K miles on it! A wing and Prayer! Wings and Prayers!
Dumb question, but what's the size used for the serp belt? i got a 05' corolla with a 1zz-fe engine. been looking it up on Google and Amazon but kept second guessing myself when I saw the different types of belts.
Hey mate, if you're still looking for a belt its best to go do Part Souq. All you have to do is search your model car and it will list the toyota part diagrams with model numbers. It tells you what the OEM part is and alternatives.
I'd give it to a shop to replace, because you will not get it yourself (probably). Here's a link to a video here on RUclips that shows the process. It's not a good time. Good luck. ruclips.net/video/abxTekwidY8/видео.html
The plástic cover over.valves needs to be removed to avoid breaking it abdt to allow better work space. The belt tensioner can be resolve with a long breaker bar. The battery + terminal needs to be removed to avoid engine start while someone is working up front. Safety always😊😊
Wat about went we puted the run just a little of time and that motor well needs to be exactly on time or if is a little of is ok or a got to be perfect
I haven't tried it yet, but, it looked like there wasn't even room to fit a socket onto the bolt. I hope to try to replace it tomorrow, so, I will find out for sure.
His belt looks like mine when I took it in to have air bags replaced couple years ago t Dealer told me i need to change it I drove my car another 50k before i changed it .
I don't think so. That bolt is the tensioner pivot bolt, and as you said, it sits right below the tensioner bolt. The tensioner bolt is a little harder to see because it sits back a little further and above the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt (which you don't want to use) sticks out furthest and "looks like" the one you want, but it isn't. Look hard above that pivot bolt, and you will spy the real 19mm bolt that you want. I think the pivot bolt is a 17mm.
I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla LE with 128,000 miles on it and the original belt and tensioner on it this is October 2021 I replace the tensioner and the belt
For those of us not gifted withe baby arms 👶😄. Is there a procedure to do this by removing the passenger side wheel and wheel liner to get a more direct access to the pulleys ???
A don't want to start my car and them get messed up a did it millions of time and a thing a got to be exactly o don't matter evri car Es different so iam trin make right

If you don't want to buy the belt tool, just use another wrench with the 19mm
And maybe even another 🤣😂😂 I gotta do it tonight so fun
Its easier to buy tool for it😂😂😂
Great video man! Very detailed and well explained!
thank you for tutorial 👍 greating from Indonesia...
Great work but there is absolutely no reason to disconnect the battery and or remove the plastic cover. All can be done as is.

Thanks Todd. Your video, especially your drawing was most helpful. Great video, great step-by-step guide. Cheers man.
Thought I could get by without a jack like you did, but I needed to take the passenger tire off to get access to the bottom area.
learned something a bout 1 syllable words that sound like 3. also how to change belt. kudos!
many say u have to r loosen the 17 mm bolt below that 19mm bolt first
??
This video is awesome,appreciate it very much,I am going to attempt to replace mine,I hope all goes well,I have no mechanic experience whatsoever lol.
did it work?
Did you succeed? Im about to embark on the same journey myself and wanna see what happens lol😊l
Yeah dudes! Pretty simple,just make sure you have the right belt,and drawing a pic to have an idea of how it goes back helps a lot,good luck 🙌🏽

Hi Carolyn, thanks for watching. Are you talking about the bolt on the tensioner pulley?
@@ToddsGarage yes

Why do you need a "tensioner tool" if you can use a breaker bar.
