2012 Toyota Kluger / Highlander Idler pulley, Tensioner pulley and belt replacement. 2GR-fe
Have done a quick video showing the replacement of the drive belt, tensioner pulley and idler pulley on a 2012 Toyota Kluger/highlander.
My first time doing a video like this so feedback is welcome :) I’m not a mechanic either but just like having a go by doing things myself.
Hopefully it helps some others out by having a go yourself.

I just got an estimate for this job At Jiffy's, they asking $1200 😂😂😂 thank you very much for this video
Thank you! Your video saved me so much time searching foe the parts, swapping both pullies and a new belt killed the squeaking
If this was your first time doing a videe like this, we have all been missing out! Awesome video: very well shot, clearly explained and illustrated. NO BS music or wasted time. Excellent! Thank you Luke

Thanks, yea it was my first one. I have been thinking about doing some more basic ones too
Simple and to the point! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the techniques! much appreciated 👍
Great video. Have done this exactly the same a number of times on numerous highlanders from 2008 to 2011. To the point where it takes 10 minutes now and don't even need to jack the car or take wheel off.

Do you know if this will work on a 2015 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5

Do you think that would apply to a 2006 Toyota Estima? It's looks pretty crowded there.

Great video, thanks!!!
my 2014 3.5l 2gr-fe sounds like a diesel and thought I had direct injection but I dont it is port injection but it runs great very smooth. It has 80k miles now but sounded noisy something like this when I bought it w/67k. I will definitely do this at 100k belt change just for insurance. Awesome vid!
Excellent work. This is the best video I can find showing every detail to carry out the work. One quick question, how did you identify the noisy bearing? There are several bearings at this position, AC, WP et. al. My car is also very noisy at this position, a metal clicking noise. Any ideas to identify the noisy one? And is it the same procedure to replace the AC bearing? Thanks

I sprayed a bit of WD40 on the bearings one at a time to see if it stopped the noise. Don’t spray it on the belt though. And to confirm which one was faulty I removed the belt and spun the pulleys by hand to find the noise. With the engine off of course. The AC bearing would be abit more work as I believe you may have to remove the ac compressor and press the pulley and bearing out.
Excellent
Thank you!
well Explained
nice
I have a question, Toyota/lexus doesn't sell the tensioner bearing. It sells the whole tensioner with the spring and bearing already compressed. Why didn't you consider changing the assembly instead of just the bearing? Is it much harder? Thanks

Hi, I didn’t change the tensioner I only changed the idler pulleys as they were the ones that were noisy
Is it required to change pullies?

The bearings were worn out and squealing
Is the tensioner pulley and idler pulley same fit even though different part numbers

@@luketaylor5502 I just changed my drive belt (gates) now its wobbling side to side on tensioner, do you think its the belt itself or tensioner pulley, I did not change the tensioner pulley when changing belt Here's video kzread.infoKnSrX39ZboA?feature=share

The tensioner has 2 6203-2RS bearings pressed into it. The idler pully has 1 6302RMX bearing pressed into it. If you switched them then one would be to close to the engine and the other pulley would be to far away from the engine. The serpentine belt would not fit correctly on the 2 pulleys.
What’s the torque rating on the idler pulley?

Be careful with the technique of hooking up two wrenches to rotate the tensioner pulley. They can snap lose and cause injury and/or very expen$$$ive damage to the tensioner… better to use the correct tool. In the U.S. O’Reilly Auto Parts will rent you the tool for free.

If you’re replacing the belt, why not just cut the old belt and pull it off? Spent a lot of time trying to get that old belt off.
