How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Toyota Engine

Model: Toyota Toyota Various
Part: Timing belt

This video tutorial demonstrates how to replace the timing belt, showing step by step the operations to be carried out. The timing belt is a crucial component that must be replaced periodically as it wears and can gradually harden over time; if even one tooth of the belt breaks, the engine may stop suddenly and the valve mechanism could be damaged, especially in Diesel engines. The main components of the timing belt are shown in the video. The procedure for replacing the timing belt varies depending on the car model and engine; however, the sequence of operations remains the same. First, remove the timing belt, second, remove the rocker cover, third, position cylinder number one at top dead centre on the compression stroke; fourth, remove the crankshaft pulley; fifth, replace the timing belt; sixth, reassemble the removed parts.
