  • Replacing serpentine on the 2014 3 litre diesel - does the tensioner click out of the way

    I bought a spare serpentine belt for the above vehicle - not that I need one but my 4x4 club requires members to carry certain spares on long trips. Advice from this forum suggests replacing the originals with the spares then you can be assured that when the time comes the items in the toolbox will fit. I took the belt home and after wresting with the belt tensioner on the Prado managed to get the existing belt off but then noticed they were different. Better for me to find this out at home then out in the back of whoop whoop.

    My question is does the tensioner click back out of the way or do you have to hold the tensioner with one hand while trying to remove the belt with the other. When I tried to levering the tensioner clockwise it seems to come hard up against something and springs back when the pressure is released. I had a look at other threads explaining how to change belts but none address this issue.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    There might be a hole that you can put a pin in after you push the tensioner back to hold it in place while you take the belt off. You'll need a mirror to see if there is one for sure. I had a helper hold the tensioner while I put the belt on.

      Thanks gxl_d4d for your response and advice.

      I ended up managing to do it by jamming the end of the cheater bar against a part of the frame. (Not the sort of job for a cold wet night out on a bush track.)
