Fan Bracket Won"t Fit on 3.0
Hey Gang. I recently replaced the water pump,timing belt and both idler pulleys on my 95 4runner 3.0 . When I went to put on the fan bracket, it was hitting the #1 idler pulley. I took off the new idler and put on the old one...same result. When I take the idler pulley off completely, then the fan bracket goes on smooth. When I put on the new timing belt on ,everything lined up and the pulleys lined up after 2 rotations. I already tried looking through alot of the threads, no luck , just frustration. If anyone has any ideas or pictures on how it should fit on or look .........PLEASE help. thanks

Seems like I ran into this same problem a few months back. IIRC, I had the tensioner on completely wrong. Sorry I can't be much help, but the fog that is my memory isn't telling me much.

I finally got it set up. There is a bolt hole just behind and off center from where the idler bolt should have been. Well...... as the famous saying goes "Learn from your mistakes". Thanks for all your help. CHEERS!!!!

Yep, that's what happened to me too. It's all coming back to me now. Wrong hole, but it looks pretty normal.
