• Q: How to install the drive belt on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: The installation process for the drive belt on 1GR-FE engines begins with a check of the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly by rotating it both in a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction to confirm no obstruction exists. Any faulty tensioner should be replaced immediately before proceeding. During the belt tensioner counterclockwise rotation you must align the holes so you can insert a 6 mm (0.24 in.) bar to fix the tensioner before installing the V-ribbed belt. The bar installation process ends when adjusting the tensioner to its counterclockwise position. The V-ribbed belt installation becomes easier when positioned across the other components without the P/S pump. After that, turn the tensioner counterclockwise to slide the belt onto the P/S pump. Use 4 bolts to install the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly while torquing them to 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf).
