This video shows you how to install a new water pump and timing belt kit on your 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner (3.4L 5VZ-FE). The timing belt ensures that the crankshaft and cam shafts are rotating in sync with each other, ensuring the engine is running properly. In some applications, the water pump is also driven by the timing belt, meaning both should be replaced at the same time!

This repair was done on a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 3.4L Sport Utility 4-Door 4WD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1996 Toyota 4Runner
1997 Toyota 4Runner
1998 Toyota 4Runner
1999 Toyota 4Runner
2000 Toyota 4Runner
2001 Toyota 4Runner
2002 Toyota 4Runner
