Changing a belt

[dcp1713]

Any trick to changing the belt on a 1999 Supra Comp. PCM.??

Shouldn't be too tough. Loosen the nut and remove belt. New belts can come from any auto store, bring the model#. Make sure to get the new one real nice and tight. I used a big wooden oar and jammed it in like a lever. :)

or 2 screwdrivers, they fit pretty dang snug..

Of course, it would be just no fun, no fun at all unless there is blood and cursing.

I use genuine PCM belts on my boat from Skidim.com. They are almost twice as thick as general automotive belts. I guess it is overkill but that is how the factory did it.

just mess'in around here, but are the factory belts orange????

Only at very high RPM's

My pullies are pitted/chipped paint so the boat eats a belt a summer.

Mine were also. I took them out, wire brushed and grinded pits and rust out. I then repainted and reinstalled. They seem to work fine now.

SunsportMikeyD, mine were also. I took them out, wire brushed and grinded pits and rust out. I then repainted and reinstalled. They seem to work fine now. It wasnt that bad to fix.
