Timing belt replacement - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, 2.5 L, 1991
Having bought a car and drove it into the garage, we immediately carried out a scheduled maintenance, but apart from changing the oil, I had to do something else, namely to replace the timing belt.
This is a very necessary and responsible matter, but if you approach this issue correctly, it is not too difficult ... The main difficulty is to get to the belt itself, and the rest is a matter of technology ...
And of course, it must be installed according to the risks (there were cases, people put it wrong, then they wondered why it would not start). Therefore, before removing the old belt, you need to remember (or better sketch, mark) how it is located. And if you did everything correctly, then it will take you a certain amount of time, but at the same time it will save you some amount of money =) And this amount, I’ll say very frankly ... and even how they will do it ... Big question.
PS Operation is certainly not two seconds, and not two hours ... You will kill an average of 6 hours, well, it certainly depends on your skill. Maybe less, maybe more. But on the other hand, the pleasure of the work done, nothing can replace ...
