Changing the belts on a 2000 Echo - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Im going to change the belts on a 2000 echo, but am not sure how to get at the rear belt. The front belt can be loosened by releasing the alternator bolt. IM stumped about the rear belt though.

Anybody ever done this job yet?

Mine only has 1 belt, as I lack A/C and power steering, but.........I'm pretty sure that you will see a similar bolt on either the power steering or am idler pulley, don't quote me on this. It may be MORE accessible from underneath the car. Good luck.

Loosen the bolts on the alternator and the power steering pump. I have never done the power steering pump I have read that it can be done through the holes of the power steering pump pulley.
