What an excellent idea to use a paint can opener. Would be better if I could get you to do mine, but I could not afford to pay your round trip airfare. 😁 Say what? why dielectric grease? There is nothing electrical about it. I've always used oil and spin is a little to get the lips on the seal facing the right direction. Excellent seal press. Great idea. 😁

@Pen_Pusher

Hi John, I guess you can use different lubricants. I was told to use dielectric because it doesn't affect the seals. It is safe for rubber products.

Would love to see how you got the seal out with minimal problems. Had the same can opener but it just bent or pried the inner edge of the seal outward.

Tip here: If you don't have a vice you can compress the tensioner slowly using a bottle jack (carefully and slowly) against the jacking frame of the car. It will press it back in just like a vice.

This is the 2nd video I am watching. I have a few more questions. What size of extension bar should I get to remove the nut on the harmonic balancer? Harbor freight has a set of socket extension with 9-1/4" and 4-1/4" length. Would it be long enough for this? Also did you have any screw that was rusted and head got broken off when you unscrewed with your socket wrench? I will not know what to do if I am screwed. So I am still holding off the project.

@wolfmanradio

Жыл бұрын

All you need to get the harmonic balancer bolt out is an impact wrench (I used an electric one). Same thing when replacing it - I just hand tightened it, then two or three short braps of the impact wrench and it’s just fine. Just make sure to replace the harmonic balancer bolt with a new one from Toyota, because bolts stretch when tightening and can more easily break off the second time around. If you take off the timing pulleys, replace those two bolts as well. If you need the Toyota part numbers for all the bolts, let me know and I’ll give them to you.

@@wolfmanradio Thanks for your reply. I used the starter bump method to get the harmonic balancer bolt off, meaning I put the breaker bar on the ground and crank without starting. I do not have an impact wrench, just a regular rachet wrench and a breaker bar. I did not replace the bolt. I thought about replacing the cam seals but held off because I don't have proper tools. I managed to replace the timing belt with timing marks aligned. This was the main thing, others are minors and have not cause me any problem yet.

Nice video, but those cam sprockets should be the same torque, because it’s exactly the same. And that die electric grease on the cam seals, seems like it could make it spin. What about the water pump ? Might as well change it since you’re in there. And I would put a new tension actuator, if it fails that timing belt will go.

@Pen_Pusher

Yes, it is a good idea to change the water pump while you are in there. I did that, and can be seen on another video. :)

Please help I took my time cover off my 1mzfe 3.0 (1st edition WITHOUT VVT) because I have a crank no start after stalling while driving and I already checked getting spark with screwdriver trick also did carb cleaner trick spraying in air intake while cranking and nothing but some backfire so don't think it's fuel but looking at the cam pulleys when I put front one at Tdc the back cam pulley is at 9 O'clock and the belt is definitely severely warn but still intact IDK what position the crank pulley is in but aren't the cam pulleys always supposed to be at Tdc together and would or could this happen while driving and would it cause the car to stall then crank with a no start or would the car still run but run like crap and I'm missing something else that is causing the no start

@@Pen_Pusher thanks for responding.. so the belt is intact but I can pull threads off the belt and it's the inside material left there's barely any rubber on it anymore lol it's actually the original belt with 440,000 thousand miles no lie but if I rotate the engine by hand and get the crankshaft pulley mark lined up to 0 mark on the timing cover the cam pulley's mark closest to the firewall is at 6-7 o'clock and the other Cam's mark is around 10-11 o'clock and that's in reference to TDC being 12 o'clock.. IMO from a lot of research you seem to be the best and most knowledgeable about this 1mz-fe engine & I have the one before VVT-I was added so I would love to ask a few questions that aren't in your videos I watched them all on this car 100s of X's * So engine is definitely out of timing to where it won't start lol? * There's debate if it's a non interference engine should I be worried of internal damage? * What does the 15 10 5 0 marks on timing cover and v mark on crankshaft pulley really mean if timing marks are behind the cover and on the crank sprocket when you remove the pulley? * The only things that stop this engine from starting are crank & cam sensors, spark, fuel, air & timing? Or is there something else not so obvious that it could be? * Recap* it was driving and while stopping to turn it stalled and never started again and IDK if this means anything but another mentioned it while cranking my rpm needle barely moved if at all and when cranking it it wasn't a fast strong crank like your car after finishing the timing belt job mine cranked like half that speed/power with a freshly charged battery and a jumper on it. I do apologize for picking your brain as I'm not a professional just someone who grew up around fixing cars and tries to teach myself through what I can find online as well as trial and error but a 1,000% truly appreciate it you have the time to respond and thank you in advance for any ideas/advice given

What size chain grip did you use

The vice grip is 10" and the chain 20". 😊

Thanks for your good instructions but missing one important point can be costly. @ 04:13 you did not show the tip that you have to put on the rod that goes in the middle of the crankshaft. I have access to some tools. So I grabbed what you showed and tried to pull the pully. Well it damaged the threads inside of the crankshaft and it's going to cost an arm and a leg to fix it. wish I had watched other videos too because they do warn you about that! also why didn't you use the start car trick to open the crankshaft nut. it only take 5 minutes to do and so effortless.

The 1.5 inch pvc pipe is just a little too small and 2" is too big; for this crank seal because it will hit the inner soft edge while you should stay on the hard 1\4" outer edge. I have a 35 and 36mm axle socket that fit it perfectly and I switch to final tapping with a 3 inch 3\8th extension 'very light taps' until seated all the way. Make sure the seal inner edge doesn't fold over on itself and just work it slow, first apply assembly lube or petroleum jelly.
