Hey guys, doing a belt replacement for a friend tomorrow on a 3.0L 1991 4 runner on limited time and just wanting to get a heads up on how to do it. My dad used to have one but I didnt really work on it much. What all tools do I need to bring and also what do I need to take off to get to it. I did a search and read that you have to come from the bottom and take off the skid plate. Can it be done from the top, i would imagine thats the easiest way. On my GTO, completely different animal I know, but i have to take the serp belt off and the ac belt comes off with a 15mm on the tensioner.

Thanks for the help guys, im sure it will be no problem but like I said im not going to have much time as im doing it on a lunch break and need to make sure and bring the right tools that I will need.

 

you will have to take off the skid plate in order to access the idler pulley bolt.

 

what tools are needed? im bringing my metric sockets and wrenches but do i need anything else like screwdrivers or anything?

 

Only maybe a screwdriver for the tensioner...You should replace all three belts at the same time though, because they often fail one right after another.
