Landcruiser alternator belts replacement.

Hey desley,

Go some where else mate, workshop with the right tools should only take 1/2 hr.

Why don't you do it yourself, better to learn at home than out in the desert where you do it or die.

To get them changed, you need to take off the air belt then get to the alt adjuster....it isnt a given that you will have the correct tools, but it isnt going to hurt to have a go in the driveway. Toyota dont make vee belts, so save extra by buying aftermarket...
I would take at a guess an hour to do the job....are the belts ratty or squeeling?? a simple adjustment only takes 5 minutes if they are squeeling....

Change all belts at the same time and carry the "good" ones as spares. This way you know they will fit if required in the future and also know that next week you won't have another belt to replace.

Desley.. Why not have a go at it yourself, i know it's not for everyone but its a good way to start learning something if you are not mechanically minded, maybe you are but choose not to do it. It also allows you to get a picture of how the front of the motor is laid out if you have a problem if you are out and about off the beaten track.. MIchael
