New Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEB...
The tensioner is a springed device that keeps the serpentine belt in your vehicle at the correct tension to keep it on the pulleys, without being so tight that it breaks. Eventually the tensioner may become worn, loose, or stuck, resulting in belts that squeak, slip, or fall off. This video shows you how to install a new TRQ tensioner pulley in your 2003-2013 Toyota Matrix.

Well done and very informative. Saves a lot of guesswork. I like the gentleman doing the work for his clear and easy to understand INSTRUCTIONS!
Really enjoy all your videos.
It’s great that you cover so many different applications.
Excellent video, thanks, 2:57 In my ca 06 Matrix is 12mm.
Spot on!
Thanks for including torque values as well. 🙌
Muchas gracias ¡bendiciones amigo¡ dsde Panamá👏
Excellent video. Thank You.
The bolt it self bulges from rust , ruins the threads and breaks at the bulge .
I wonder if heating the bolt with an electric induction heater would make it possible to remove this one with out breaking it ??
I backed mine out then cranked it back in out of fear .
I am thinking of just changing the plunger shock instead of the entire hanger . Yet the bolt is in back near the timing chain tensioner with the power steering line and A/C line in the way .needs to be removed with a 90 degree pneumatic wrench
Good clear direction
What brand of rubber pad dis you use for the jack? And how thick?
Yo instalé un tensor y cuando lo estaba activando sonó un golpe, y siguió rechinando, se habrá quebrado algo?
Thanks for the video. At 4:16 can anyone tell me what type of bolt is holding the pulley please?
It's interesting that after removing the motor mount bolts that my whole car still lifts while jacking up the motor.
So jacking up was to be able to reach that bolt?
The nut holding the pressurized strut was a 12 mm on my 2003 Corolla vs the 13 mm that was on the video.
My nut dropped somewhere on the frame 😂 and I had to go to the hardware store and get another one that was 15mm od that fits the stud.

A question for anyone:
The tensioner bolt on my 2004 Corolla snapped. The car has 107,000 miles. It was a real project to get the broken bolt out of the engine block, with trying different drill bits and using a right angle drill attachment. I finally got the remains of the broken bolt out last night, woo hoo!
Is it worth using Permatex anti-seize compound for aluminum on the new bolt? It's a 3 hour trip by bus and bicycle to buy a bottle from Menard's Hardware Store.
Thank you much.
Yes.
I am in the middle of the repair. It is difficult to watch this over simplified depiction... can't watch any morr
That 17mm bolt on the bottom breaks when you try to loosen.
But the place for 19 mm socket is broken , how i can take off ?
Cut the old belt off with some snips or sidecutters, then simply remove the old tensioner the same as he does here. If you're replacing the belt anyway, then the old one is garbage. Same goes for the tensioner. Old one goes in the bin, new one will have the 19mm boss you need to compress it to put the new belt on.
I just need to know how to reset the tensioner...
You cannot take this out the back
Where is the location to jack up the passenger side engine?
I need that info too
Under the oil pan with a piece of flat wood to support engine. Don't put alot of pressure on the oil pan.
This is not this easy. He must have tiny hands because this a difficult job. It pisses me off to see this misleading application. THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS REPAIR!
