I am not an FJ owner currently but will be purchasing one within the next year. I have been searching everywhere for some detailed information on timing belt replacement on the 4.7 but can't find anything specific. I've only found a few people that actually change it themselves - most seem to take it to a mechanic or the dealer, neither of which are an option for me.
Is there anything unusually difficult about replacing this belt? I've done it on inline 4 cylinders before but have no experience with timing belts on a V engine. If I buy an FSM can I get through this okay? I do all my own wrenching on my stuff, up to and including engine replacements and rebuilds.
If any of you have changed your own tbelt or can point me to a website with detailed instructions, I'd sure like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Allan Davis
