What is the procedure to change serpentine belt on my tacoma? where is the tension pulley, WHAT TOOLS REQUIRED? diagrams.
On my 2005 Tacoma with the 4.0L V6, I found it easier to change the belt from under the truck. Just remove the skid pan. Plenty of room to install the belt. The tensioner pulley is the one at about 2-o'clock from the crankshaft with the belt nearly all the way around it.
This is true, it's much easier to change it from under the truck.. Route the belt around all of the sheaves except the A/C compressor, then pull down the tensioner and slip the belt onto the compressor sheave. My truck is an 05 Tacoma with the 4.0 as well. I think it's next to impossible to do it from the top by yourself.
Thanks much for this advice. I also have a 2005 Tacoma, and my ol' man helped me navigate the forest of pulleys to get the new one on. It did get done primarily from the bottom, but I helped to loop under and over some pulleys from the top. You'll find it easier to take off that big aircleaner plastic cap with the V-6 logo to help you see from the top. Also check out the service manual page on the customtacos website here: http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old/file...

Here is your Solution!
You will need to Locate the Belt Tensioner. It has a Large Pulley on a Bracket that Has a Bolt in the Middle and a Smaller Pulley that Goes Under the Belt and Holds Tension on it. You will need to get a Wratchet, Socket, and Cheater Bar. Turn the Bolt On the Top Large Pulley with the Wratchet and Cheater Bar. This will Lower the Smaller Pulley So that you will be Able to Remove the Belt. Please Rate My Response! Thanks! P.S. the link below is for the Belt Routing Diagram.

Do not forget to check/replace the idlers too. I also highly recommend a Goodyear Gatorback belt as a replacement. Better than OEM IMO.
