Belts on a 3.slow...
Any tricks to speed up the process?
I've never done it on this particular motor, but its usually a 20 minute job if everything goes wrong from experience on other motors
I'm gonna do mine this sunday.... any tricks to make it smoother?

20 minute job if everything goes wrong?
I wish I could change all of the belts on my 22RE in 20 minutes- the alternator always gives me fits.

its so easy doing the belts if you dont have a/c. looks like last owner got rid of the system . i just use a stick to tighten the belts and i hold it at the same spot to tighten the bolts.

I changed my belts a month ago. No need to remove the fan at all. I took off the upper portion of the fan shroud & not even sure if I needed to do that. You will need to loosen the alternator bolts , power steering pump bolts & the A/C belt will come loose with the idler pulley on the bottom. It's actually very easy but looks like it would be a PITA! The belt will slip right over the fan.
Good luck

I did the belts on my truck a few months ago. its a '92 3vz v6 w/o A/c
the belts slide over the fan without removing anything at all.
loosen up the alternator and the power steering pump and remove and replace. it helps to have a friend that can hold the tension on the alternator and ps pump while you tighten up the bolts, so you get good tension on the belt.
I had both changed in 10 mins.
