belt

I just did mine two weekends ago and so far so good. NOt saying anybody here is wrong but I went with aftermarket brand on the belt. I did learn that you need to put anti-sieze on that bottom bolt holding the alternator. I believe that a belts life span is shortened when folks overtighten or leave it too loose, I've seen it happen first hand experience. This type of belt adjustment is old school skill of the craft way and if you have never done one before your gonna go through a learning experience before you get it right. I don't understand why Toyota didn't put an auto tension pulley like most modern cars, Maybe cost anyhow good luck folks and don't overtighten the belt or you'll create more problems.
