Here are a few steps to follow while replacing the belt.
- Firstly make sure the engine is cool, thus avoiding you from getting burnt
- Disengage the battery and chock the wheels so that the car cannot roll.
- Remove all obstructions to the timing belt cover which include:
a) Remove the air intake assembly.
b) Loosen the pulley that powers the water pump.
c) Remove any other accessories that interfere with access to the timing belt.
- Remove the timing belt cover bolts and pull the cover off.
- Check the tensioner bearings. Replace them if they are loose or noisy. I usually order genuine parts from lexuspartsdirect.
- Check the camshaft and crankshaft seals. If they leak, it could cause premature failure of the new timing belt. Replace them if necessary.
- Make sure that all timing marks are properly aligned, then loosen the timing belt tensioner and remove the timing belt.
- Put the new belt in place. Adjust the tension, if necessary. Make sure that it sits well over the teeth of the timing sprockets.
- Apply a new gasket to the timing belt cover and replace it.
- Reinstall all of the accessory pumps that you took off earlier, including the water pump.
- Check that all timing marks are still properly aligned.
- Reinstall the air intake assembly.
- Reconnect the battery.
- Start the engine and listen carefully to how it runs. You shouldn't hear any loud knocks if the timing is still
