    I have long arms, so maybe the top approach won't be so bad.

    Yeah you'll be ok. Toughest part is fishing it around all the pulleys...do the PS pulley last.

    This should still be on the underside of the hood.

    Btw, my original Toyota belt lasted 202K miles. Upon close inspection there was a tiny hole in it from cracking on the underside.

    Mine looks fine. Figured I'd change it to see if my A.M. squeaking goes away. Otherwise it could be one of the idler pulleys.

    Only odd noise I've heard since I bought it was a pulley bearing going bad....wasn't sure till wed. When the alt. began acting up & I grabbed a stethoscope & confirmed it was the alt.

    Do you use a stethoscope from a medical supply ? I always use a screwdriver - the tip to the object - the handle to my ear. Thanks for any reply.

    George, I don't know about the medical ones, but if you google for mechanics stethoscope, you'll find plenty of options. Nice to know about the screwdriver trick, if it works, it works!

    Thanks. Screwdriver works fine - try it - just put the tip of the screwdriver on the suspected part and the handle to your ear - the vibration and noise such as a bearing will be telegraphed to your ear just like the stethoscope. I'll google for mechanics stethoscope. Thanks.

    No! Don't use a medical scope. You'll blow your ear drums out! A long screwdriver or long pry bar works just fine. Mechanics stethoscopes work fine. I borrowed my friends to confirm what I heard through the pry bar
