1997 Toyota Camry 2 2 L How to Replace the Serpentine Belt On 1997 Toyota Camry 2 2 L
How can I replace the Serpentine Belt on my 1997 Toyota Camry 2.2 L 4 Cylinder?
Answer: Toyota Camry equipped with power steering has two belts. One that operates between the crankshaft pulley and power steering pump. The other is drive belt that operates from the crankshaft pulley to the alternator and air conditioning compressor. To replace the large diameter belt that drives the alternator, you have to remove the plastic shield in front of the crankshaft pulley (held in place by two 10mm bolts). The pivot bolt on top of the alternator is loosened (14mm), the bolt that secures the front ear of the alternator (12mm) is slackened and then a long threaded adjusting bolt (12mm) is turned to loosen the drive belt so it can be removed and replaced. It is more difficult to replace the power steering belt since it is accessed from the bottom of the car so the car must be jacked up and supported by axle stands. A bolt on the power steering pump adjusting bracket and the pivot bolt for the power steering pump must be slackened to enable the power steering belt to be replaced. After replacing the fan belts assemble in reverse order. Ensure fan belts are properly tensioned and aligned. Start the engine and allow to run for a minute. Re check alignment and drivebelt tension. Turn on air conditioning, headlights, heated rear windscreen and start the engine, turn the steering wheel form side to side, if belts are properly tensioned the belts should not “squealâ€. If belt “squeal†is heard the fan belts are improperly tensioned or aligned.

2007 Toyota Camry LE How to Replace the Driver Side Wiper on 2007 Toyota Camry LE
My car is 2007 Toyota Camry LE, I heard rubbing noise when I was running the wiper, after a close examination, the driver side wiper rubber was peeling off the wiper. Is it necessary to replace the entire blade, or just the rubber, and how to mount it? Thanks for your help
Answer: At walmart, the rubber refills cost about 3 bucks, the blade with wiper is about 5 bucks each and they will last at about the same time. The mounting instruction comes with the install kit. Installation is actually very easy. Hope this help.

How to Replace the Blower Motor Resistor in the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
Is there an easy way to replace the blower motor resistor in my 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier z24, I mean before I pull the dash or the airbag?
Answer: The blower motor is located under the dash, next to the wires that operate the blower motor, if you find wiring connections with 4 wiring in tan, light blue, black and white, that is the resistor, I’ll cost you $40 in parts and 25 minutes to replace.

2007 Toyota Prius How to Replace the Rear Wiper Blades
How can I replace the rear wiper blade assembly on my 2007 Toyota Prius, (not only the rubber insert) How to detach the blade assembly from the wiper arm? Does anyone have a suggestion?
Answer: As far as I know, the size of the rear wiper blade on the 2007 Toyota Prius is unique, it is very specific. My suggestion is go to the parts department in your local Toyota dealership to find the right insert that fits the blade assembly, so you don’t have to detach the blade assembly. Good luck.
