• Q: How to service the drive belt on 2007 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: The first step to servicing the drive belt involves removing the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly through bolt removal of its four components. Users can start belt tension release by untwisting the belt tensioner clockwise then take off the V-ribbed belt from the tensioner assembly. Before moving forward with belt tensioner replacement check for any possible issues while rotating the assembly in both directions. Any discovered problems will require belt tensioner replacement. During belt installation turn the tensioner counterclockwise until you can align it with its holes before fixing it with a 6 mm (0.24 in.) bar and then placing the V-ribbed belt in position. Keeping the counterclockwise turning motion, gently slide out the bar and progress with the tensioner installation. You should put the V-ribbed belt only on parts except the P/S pump before releasing the tension on the belt to move it onto the P/S pump. To finish the repair install the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly using 4 bolts with an appropriate torque setting of 29 Nm (296 kgf/cm, 21 ft. lbs.).
