Hey all, I am trying to decide whether or not I would like to try and replace my timing belt on a 2001 4Runner myself. Mainly, I am wondering which SSTs (special service tools) I will need to properly complete the job. I am trying to gauge how much they will all cost. I also want to make sure I use all of the proper tools on the job.

Also, here is a thread I started earlier related more generally to timing belt replacement.

Thanks for the links! These look great!!!

 

Make sure you use the 217 ft. lbs torque spec for the crank bolt, not the old 185 ft-lb spec used in the first link. I'd even use some locktite on it myself.
