Hey Bay Area 4runner friends. I am looking to replace my water pump, timing belt and other misc items. Looking to see if any one in the area can help. I have all the tools and a great place to work and will provide food and beer. I do not have the tensioner tool or crankshaft pulley tool to loosen the bolt (I read about using a long breaker bar and cranking the engine though). I have never done a water pump or timing belt on a car.
I have ordered all parts and more.
I am also planning on replacing the radiator and hoses while I am at it
along with flushing the transmission fluid (I have 20 quarts)
What I would like most is help / advice on checking the bearing and seals once everything is off and dealing with the tensioner. I feel comfortable disassembling to the timing belt and also reassembling once after the timing belt.
If anyone can help let me know what you want and I would be much appreciated. I live in Redwood City. reply and can give you my info. Looking to do it in the next week or two. Parts should be showing up by next Monday.
Thanks
Chris
