Step-by-step on how to replace the water pump in a 2007-2010 Toyota Sienna. This is the 2GR-FE engine found in the Toyota Avalon, Camry, RAV4, Lexus, Highlander and others. This will also help you if you need to just replace the thermostat.
Keep in mind, I am not a certified mechanic, just a hobbyist who enjoys working on cars.

    This video helped me a hell of a lot... WARNING HORROR STORY AHEAD... SO... AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP... I simply wanted to replace all my noisy old pulleys... The two idler pulleys and the tensioner pulley... The idler pulleys went on and off no problem and really easy... The tensioner pulley had reverse threads and a slightly different washer from the other two pulleys... I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE TENSIONER PULLEY WASHER AND INSTALLED IT BACKWARDS... This mistake caused the pulley to not spin at all and I didn't notice... After starting the engine there was a loud brief squealing followed by the sound of a motor flying apart... Had I just reached down and gave that tensioner pulley a little test spin before installing the belt I would have saved myself days of regret and sorrow... I broke the tensioner right off at the spring point... It took me two long days to finally fix it...

    Just did this job today on a 2010 Highlander. It was pretty tight getting the engine mount bracket out and it took a while to get the pulley/water pump out. We changed out radiator, hoses and thermostat also. It was a big job. Most of our curse words came from the water pump portion of the job. Anyways, thank for the video, sure beats lifting the engine out!

    You can't get the bracket out on a Highlander unless you take out the front mount nut the lower mount on the passenger side and the rear lower mount on the passenger side and the only way to get the pulley out is pry the engine sideways or take it out with the pump I don't know if this was a minivan and there's more room but on the Highlander there's no way to get that bracket out without lifting the engine way up and removing the two lower mounts and there's a whole bunch of other stuff like getting the hose off the thermostat housing assembly if you ruin it you will be in for a lot of work taking the housing off the tube and the O-ring you also have to be careful otherwise you can mess that also if you're not mechanically inclined you probably want to stay away from this job there's a lot that can go wrong even getting the pulley bolts tighten and loosen is difficult

    Thread locking compound on the engine mounts is totally unnecessary. If there’s anywhere you might want it it would be on the water pump bolts.That’s not even necessary either - great job. I don’t think you mentioned the right passenger bottom engine mount. You only mentioned ‘mounts ‘ and only showed the dog bone torque mount. It’s important to release the passenger bottom motor mount as well. Thanks for a great post.

Biggest difference I noticed was some small brake lines on the 15 LE that interfered with one of the bolts coming out of the side of the motor mount bracket. We had to loosen the motor mounts on the bottom and jack the engine up more to get that bolt out. We got it all done though. It's definitely doable. I'm no mechanic so I had some of my auto savvy friends to help me. Saved me $1200.

    I'm about to do this on a V6 Hilux, looks very similar, however the Hilux doesn't have the transverse engine fitment so it 'should' be easier... My only qualm with your instructions is not using a sealant to help the new gasket. I was taught during my apprenticeship days to ALWAYS use aviation sealant on water pump gaskets & thermostat housing gaskets and I have done that religiously every single time since then. I know, most people will say that the gasket shouldn't NEED additional sealant but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have seen too many brand-new gaskets not hold up to system pressure and the aviation sealant is absolutely amazing to prevent any of that sort of nonsense.. although it is a sticky mess to apply :P

    The space between the water pump and body on the Sienna seems to be a bit more than the 2nd Gen Toyota Avalon. Looking at this video I can see that a Sienna water pump swap out would be a little easier. In one of the comments here a person asked if he had trouble getting one of the LONG bolts out of the control rod. With the extra space I just mentioned this may not be an issue with the 2GR-FE Sienna, but if you can't get the 4.5" bolt out of the control rod because it collides with the body, then get a hack saw and cut it anywhere you have a clear shot. You can replace the cut bolt with an M10-1.25-100mm bolt. Lowes has one made by Hillman - part # 883207. HD may have one as well. The bolt is a little shorter than the original, but you CAN get it back in with it connecting to the threads on the engine side for a snug fit. The head on this new bolt is 17mm vs. 14mm on the old bolt.

    I know this comes 2 years too late, but it doesn't look like he did. I just left a comment about how I use aviation sealant on EVERY water pump and thermostat housing gasket I have ever fitted. That was drilled in to me during my apprenticeship and I have seen too many brand-new gaskets fail to hold up against system pressure when no sealant was used.

    You should also mention the right front motor mount; must remove the retainer nut, so the motor can be raised high enough to get the water pump removed. It is located behind the front passenger tire, behind a removable panel.

Taken every bolt out of the engine doing full rebuild so i would think if it was there i would see it. Not sure what felpro is thinking. It is actually their “timing cover gasket set” Looked up napa water pumps and the picture shows one gasket. Thought i would ask another guy that has been in there and see if i was missing something.
