I liked this plan and went out last night. My rear driver-side wheel would barely move when i gave it a spin so that must be the culprit. While jacking it up, I did notice that there was a lot of grease buildup on the inside of the wheel. Could the axle seal issue have an affect on braking...

I have a '99 4Runner 4WD Manual Transmission. A couple days ago, I came home from work and pulled in the driveway and there was a burning smell coming from the front of the vehicle. Had to run to the grocery store later that evening and at about 30-35mph, the front end began to violently shake...

Got the fan pulley replaced but the engine still has the whining sound...Oh well, may just need to get a louder stereo

Even with the belts on, the pulley still spins when I put a box wrench on the bolt. Hoping the PB helps me out when I try after work today

Thanks! Got the part and started the project but I can't get those 4 fan bolts off...I crank on them with the wrench and the pulley just spins so I can't get some good torque on them. I tried with a crescent wrench on one and the 12mm on the other and still stuck. I got them soaking in PB now...

I downloaded from the link but the title of the document is for a '96 Tacoma. I assume it's all the same info for a 3rd gen 4Runner?

I replaced all the drive belts when I removed them and the alternator did not make any whining noise when tested at the shop. Fan pulley bearing is something I haven't looked in to but sounds like the culprit. I'll look into that. Thanks!

I did run it without any belts and no whining noise. When I put back on the alternator belt, it started whining again.

I had just changed out the coolant, oil, transmission fluid, differential, transfer case so there definitely was a little spillage that could be burning off in the video. Doesn't burn anything when I drive it.

Alternator was checked out by a specialty shop and it was reading the correct voltage. He looked it over and the only issue was worn brushes that he replaced.

I have a '99 SR5 5-speed with 165k miles that has a whining noise from the engine since I bought it a few months ago. Last weekend, I removed the drive belts 1 by 1 and it doesn't stop until the alternator belt is removed. I replaced all the belts when I removed them and the noise is still...

I can't watch your video but is your sound similar to mine? https://streamable.com/sljl0

I have a whine on my 3rd gen 3.4 5-speed that is driving me crazy. Did yours sound anything like this?? https://streamable.com/sljl0
