Genuine Parts 90916-02570 Alternator and Fan Belt

I installed it on a 2008 Prius. I removed the air duct from the air filter box. Then i checked the tension on the existing belt. That would give me an idea on how much tension for the new one. I loosened the pulley nut which is a bit tight so you may need another wrench as an extender. Ensure your wrench is sitting well on the nut because you damage it if not sitting well due to the force you apply on it. Once this was done, I loosened the tension bolt, and removed the existing belt. I put the new belt starting from the bottom squeezing my hands into the engine compartment. Once it was on the lower pulley, i passed it through the oil pump(i think) and then stretch it to get on the tension pulley. After that i tightened the pulley and apply tension to the belt. I started the car and there were no noises so i assume all went well :). The old belt had cracks with 78K miles. I think it would have lasted a lot longer but I wanted to do something fun for the weekend.

Neither the easiest nor toughest belt replacement of my life, very doable. I bought the right belt (this one) for my 2005 Prius, watched 2 or 3 YouTube videos on how to replace it most easily, and then did so. I didn't plan on jacking the car up, just doing it from the top. But I ended up taking a peek from below to double-check that it was seated on the engine crank pulley properly, as it's hard to get your arm far enough in to check that from the top. Getting a good view from below didn't require removing any panels underneath, although if you want to work from beneath, it would. A bit of patience, a good flashlight, and figuring how how to tug on different parts of the belt to keep it from slipping off the bottom pulley while slipping it onto the idler and pump pulley, was the only tricky part. It took a half hour including unexpectedly jacking the car to check it before starting the car up.

As expected

fast shipping, exactly as described.

This part works very well on my car. It was fitted by an approved Toyota service agent and I've had no issues since. It was awesome to be able to import this product quickly as we had an overly long waiting time to get the product from Toyota locally (needed to be sourced from Japan).
