2009 Toyota Highlander Drive Belt Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the Drive Belt and front fender components on 2009 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Starting the installation of V-ribbed belt requires you to place it onto each component exactly as illustrated yet omitting the water pump pulley. Start by making the V-ribbed belt loose through clockwise movement of the belt tensioner while you carefully position the belt onto the water pump pulley and ensure proper seating against the crankshaft pulley grooves. Start by fitting the front fender apron seal RH onto its designated spot before moving to install the front fender liner RH. Begin by preparing the vehicle body surface then heat it through the use of a heat light for the front fender moulding sub-assembly RH installation process. Use cleaner to remove tape adhesive residue from the front fender side protector before its removal. The front fender moulding sub-assembly RH needs similar cleaning before being heated for the removal of its side protector when installing new parts. After cleverwort treatment of both the vehicle body and front fender moulding sub-assembly a technician should peel off the release paper from the moulding while preserving a clean exposed adhesive surface. Use the 3 clips to place the front fender moulding sub-assembly RH and secure it by installing both the screw and clip with a 4 mm hexagon wrench. The installation process ends after securing the front wheel right side along with the No. 1 engine under cover through torquing it to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf).
