It's not necessary to remove the front right wheel, but it is a major pita. Be prepared to scratch your hands and forearms up real good doing this job. I did this on my 2011 Highlander with the same 2.7L motor.

I was also surprised by this method, but is was not better to remove the engine altogether and it would also be more convenient to change the belt!

Yes, you don't have to remove tire, but it's harder work the the belt around especially non-saavy weekend mechanics. With floor jack and impact gun, it's quite easy to remove the tire and it'll provide much clear view to entire belt looping around.

Hi, it is very knowledgeable video. I have error p0301 I changed the wire housing as you mentioned. Have you idea how change the wires, what we put in the housing. And my Venza 2013 4 cylinder which spark plugs are good. Thank you

Do you recommend changing the tensioner too? The car has 107k miles.

@@BadWeatherfreak Too many fake OEMs are out there for auto parts. I would buy it from a Toyota dealership. The belt is not too expensive.

Hi Sir. About how many miles to change the belt is the best. Thanks Sir. 🤗.

Toyota service recommends between 50K to 100K miles. That said, these OEM belt seem to easily last 100K miles. My friend’s Venza belt last over 180K miles, but to me that’s too dangerous to go that far when the belt is only $20-25 bucks and replacement is easily doable at home.

What model and year car do you have, and how many miles do you have? I always try to change my drive belts close to or before 100K miles.
