Alright everybody. I have just taken on something I am not 100% sure I am capable of doing. A little background: I just recently purchased a 1990 4Runner for $1000. It runs, just needs a little tlc. How could you pass that up!? So i jumped on it and started doing what needed to be done. First was the radiator, no problem. then the rear driveshaft, no problem. now i need to replace the head gasket and while doing so i am going to change everything else that i have access to while doing so.

In the picture i attached to this thread, is how far i have gotten. as of right now, i am stuck. i am not able to get the last bolt undone that holds the fan clutch in, but i soaked it with wd40 and tomorrow should be better. but the bottom belt that has the ac compressor (i think that is what it is called) will not loosen. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong.

and now that the timing belt is exposed, i have totally forgot what i should do. i don't want to mess my truck up, but i don't want to pay someone to do something that i can do.

so please, if anyone has any advice, please feel free to reply! anything helps!
