Fantastic, thank you so much! That’s weird though the witness marks between the bearing and the bracket look like there was one! But I believe ya haha thanks so much for the info!!!

I looked EVERYWHERE .. almost positive it’s not on the floor, idk where the hell it hid. I looked everywhere in the engine compartment I could thing of, rooted around in the frame rail with a magnet, and last ditch effort shot compressed air into tight spaces it might be hiding to unlodge it… it...

Hey guys quick question… I’m doing my timing belt on my 02 4Runner and removed this bearing I’m holding.. believe it’s the idler bearing? A washer fell out and I didn’t see where it was located (to the front or rear of the bearing) or what size it was… just heard a ‘dink’ and then nothing...

Awesome, pulling plugs now as we speak. So would you just continue as planned even though I can’t rotate the crank shaft a full 360 degrees? It seems like something has to be up.. but I triple checked all 4 of the spots I know of to check timing and they’re all spot on. Thanks for the help btw I...

Hey guys, have an 02 4Runner that I’ve got an issue with. First off, I apologize.. I posted this is another place but my account was too new at the time to make my own thread. Anyways, now it let me. I’m hoping I didn’t screw something up too badly.. Im at my shop in the process of replacing...

I agree…By far most reliable site I’ve used for help with repairs

I’m hoping I didn’t screw up my 4Runner today. I went to change the water pump / timing belt and had trouble breaking free the nut on the crank shaft pulley. Finally got it off buy now when I got to spin everything to top dead center I’m getting a ton of resistance at one point… much more than...

Good to know , thanks… I didn’t rotate too far counter clockwise.. hope it didn’t cause more of an issue. I had previously turned at least 360 degrees and didn’t have any problems, felt the compression but nothing like this. Then I bumped the started couple times and when I went to turn it...

Hey guys, I know this is a really old thread, but I’m having a very similar problem to the original poster. I'm in the middle of replacing my timing belt / water pump and just came across a possible issue. Was having trouble getting the nut off of the crankshaft pulley so I lodged the breaker...

Thanks guys, you’re right it’s the water pump. Posted something on reddit too, thought I had notifications going to my email for T4R.org but for some reason didn’t work. Ended up ordering an ‘Aisin’ water pump/timing belt kit on amazon for around $200. Heard that’s a decent brand? Local NAPA...

Hey everyone, sorry I know this is an old thread but I’m having a problem that may be similar to what was described in this thread. I have a bad coolant leak, soon as I put in fluid it starts dripping/pissing out. Started slow but couldn’t find where it was coming from till I finally took it...
