Sorry to necro post on this thread but…..
last month I replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 1HD-T equipped HDJ81. I decided to replace the alternator belts at the same time as I was already in there and didn’t know the age of the belts that I was replacing. Fast forward to last weekend…..after a cold start and initial acceleration, there was a slight squealing to be heard that lasted 5-7 seconds then stopped. Wasn’t heard again except for the cold start and initial acceleration. I checked the belts and both had much more displacement (movement) than when I had first replaced them last month. I went to tighten them and rushed through the proceedure, forgetting to loosen the lock bolt and the pivot bolt. Yep, the adjustment bolt snapped
. Seems like the lock bolt is holding everything together but not taking any chances. I ordered 2 new adjustment bolts and a new adjustment block. I can’t find the lock bolt anywhere and the guy on the phone at the dealership I ordered through said it’s been discontinued.
Any ideas for a replacement locking bolt? It’s the bolt that locks the adjusting block that holds the adjustment bolt. I will keep looking.
