The two references I used:

For more, just search for '5vz timing belt'and you will get more hits.



For those that may do this, make these tools. They are easy.

The tensioner compressor, just like the Snap-On one. Except it is free if you have a welder and some basic tools.



The crank SST. Super easy to make. As a matter of fact, I used my fathers he made. The Tundra holes were slighly closer, so I just drilled a new pair. The two 3/8" holes need 60mm (or longer) metric hardware to bolt it to the pulley. Think I used 8mm OD x 1.25mm pitch. I dunno, it was common metric stuff.

With manual transmissions you can just put it in gear and step on the brakes or run a pin through the vent hole on the flywheel.

There are also tools out there that lock onto the teeth on the flywheel or flexplate and keep it from turning. Not sure if there are any made specifically for Toyotas, but I think they have generic types.
