Supradk84 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is there another thing that would be good to change when doing the aux belt, and does someone have a part number... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 not really mate, why are you changing it? it may well be worth looking at the bottom crank pully to see if its seperated (cause a squeak if that do) and are becoming more of a problem on supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradk84 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Because it does not look good anymore. Looks like it could snap any minute. It has long cracks in the middle of the belt.. Just thought there was something esle to thange with it, a tensioner of some kind? the aux-belt is the one, in front of the cam belt, rigth? "bottom crank pully" is that the one pulling the fan, or am i way off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 its the one way down at the bottom, if you belt looks worse for wear just change the belt itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradk84 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 allright, will do.. do I just losen the tensioner, and then it comes loose? thanks, mate appreciate it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 you will need a long 14mm spaner or a socket and wrench.. the tensioner is spring loaded... so you take the tension off th belt at the same time pulling the belt off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradk84 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 ok, thanks... does it have to be tightend at a specific torque? xx nm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 No you don't actually unscrew anything, you just use the 14mm spanner or socket to pull down the tensioner, to give you enough slack to get the belt off. Comprendez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus GTE Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Just used this guide to do mine, thanks. It took me about 15 min. What I did; Removed battery for more room Loosened top clamp on intercooler pipe and removed Loosened other clamp at bottom of that section and swiveled it round to face left 14mm socket set round the tensioner nut with short breaker bar over the shaft for more leverage Have wrench around 2pm position or as horizontal as possible. Push down as if to tighten and the tensioner will move letting you pull the slack belt off at the top right pas pully Remove belt carefully involving going round the fan. Put the new belt in place doing the reverse of taking it off using the diagram that should be in the engine bay (if not take a pic of it 1st?) Push down as if to tighten the nut on the tensioner to move it to slacken the belt enough Pull the belt over the last pas pully at the top right (set the belt up like this in prep for this moment) Re aline intercooler hose and tighten top and bottom Replace and secure battery Start and hear it purr again instead of squeaking Job done. Info is pretty much in this thread but I just went into a bit more detail incase it helps anyone in future.

Digsy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 One word of warning: There have been a couple of instances reported where the tensioner hasn't moved very freely and the tensioner bolt has turned and then stripped. Go easy when you apply pressure to the tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
