MattP Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm trying to diagnose a oil leak and suspect the cam oil seals are weeping does anybody have a guide on how to remove the VVTI pulley as the repair manuals on here don't have any info nor does Autodata for the VVTI engine.

MattP Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I watched that earlier but he has a different problem his is an internal cam gear problem I want the whole gear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) You need to take the cam cover off. Then take the cap off on the front of pulley to get to the actual pulley bolt (both allen key heads. Get a spanner on the cam then undo the pulley bolt. The whole pulley will come off. Obviously loosen the cambelt tensioner and slip the belt off first. Edited March 4, 2017 by Parry_10 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Actually looking at that video is it worth replacing the internal VVTI cam o rings as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Actually looking at that video is it worth replacing the internal VVTI cam o rings as well? Not unless they are leaking. Im sure i read somewhere they arnt available from toyota so you would need to source elsewhere. Just leave the pulley alone dont take it apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
