Not the pully itself but the coolant return runs through the pully's hub. IIRC it exits a port on the front of the manifold. runs through the pully and then connects to hose that returns to radiator. Never heard of Power steering recall other than a recall for some relay rod thing.

While dealing with replacing the rotors and cv shafts on my 92 4runner. I ran into difficulty trying to get the cover of the hub off. After removing the nuts and washers there were cone washers still holding it in place. I spent 4 hours tapping and prying to 6 off on one side. Then went to my...

Anything you do on a 4runner is tough, takes a lot time and usually results in bloody knuckles :) As for the water pump I have a 92 which is similar to a 94. AFAICT the only way to get at the water pump is to remove the timing belt which is under the timing belt cover. It seemed to me the...

There are two possibilities that are part of the manifold itself. 1 Where the coolant return exits the manifold. Its towards the front top of manifold. It all one piece that passes through the timing belt cover and is part of the idler pully. 2 On the rear top of manifold there is also the...

Nevermind - cone washers :( and thanks ovrrdrive for helpful explanation... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=36319

Well I knew I was going to have ta replace the front brake pads sooner or later. Unfortunately a loud grinding sound meant sooner than later. So while Im in there I decided to replace the halfshafts and rotors too (the grinding did enough damage to warrant that. Ok to the point...replacing...

Soory for the late reply- glad you got the wire off with out busting the sensor I broke the connector on the sensor while doing a top end rebuild ...WHAM $170 heres a tip from the peanut gallery: for those who find them selves in the same situation you probably dont need to disconnect the wire...

OK 3 years later, but better then never.... Yes it is located under the intake manifold, so do what ever you have to do to get manifold off. nothing more. You will see square in the middle of the top of engine block slightly aft of center

Just trying to get the right info to finish the job. Hope somebody can shed some light. Got 2 new refurbished heads for 3l v6. The camshafts were already installed sealed and torqued to spec and the company that sold em to me said I did not have to bother with removing to install , yet when I...

Anyone know what the diameter and thread pitch is for cylinder head bolt - 92 3l v6

Im right there with ya buddy. Knee Deep in it in fact. There seems to be a lot of knowledgeable folk around here. So I thought Id give it a whirl. So far the hardest thing has been figuring out how to loosen the bolts that hold the cam shaft sprockets on, but I just asked here and found an...

Thanks FD it worked like a charm. :bigok: I only weigh 220 but it was enough. Step 2 didnt make sense to me until I had it all in place. Not sure if I did everything as fd59 explained but it worked great this way for me Hopefully someone might find these photos of the process useful. Heres...

Im clear on everything except step two but I think I can figure it out. Thanks for the help

Before I go completely destroying bolts, or anything else, that hold the camshaft sprockets on my 92 4runner 3 liter, can anyone tell me if they are reverse threaded. I have a haynes manual (= worthless). in which the diagram seems to indicate that they are reverse treaded but no where in the...

Well it went back in a lot easier than it came out. Every thing works so far.
