The original OEM serpentine belt on this 2018 Camry was part number Bando 6PK1150 also known as genuine Toyota part # Toyota 90916-A2027.

The only tool needed to remove and replace the belt is a 14mm wrench or a 14mm socket with a ratchet.

If you recently drove the car, allow it to cool off for at least an hour to avoid burning yourself when you replace the belt.

Take a moment to study how the OEM belt is routed around the pulleys including the crankshaft, air conditioning system compressor, the alternator and the tensioner.

Lift the wrench up and towards the back of the engine bay to rotate the tensioner arm and release the tension on the old belt.

Avoid placing your fingers in between the belt and any of the pulleys.

Slip the belt off the other pulleys and lift it out of the engine bay.

If the old belt is in relatively good condition, consider saving it as an emergency backup just in case the new belt fails prematurely.

The original "OEM" belt in this 2018 Camry was marked as part number 6PK1150 and also Toyota 90916-A2027.

Wrap the ribbed side of the new belt around the large crankshaft pulley at the bottom rear corner of the engine.

A good rule to remember is that the ribbed side of the belt goes around the ribbed pulleys and the smooth side of the belt goes against the smooth tensioner pulley.

The new belt should be under the smooth tensioner pulley.

Place the 14mm wrench over the bolt head on the outside of the tensioner assembly.

Release the tension by rotating the wrench up and towards the rear of the engine bay.

Carefully slip the final loop of the new belt over the alternator pulley.

Avoid placing your fingers in between the new belt and any of the pulleys.

Gently allow the tensioner arm to move back into place.

Double check that the new belt is properly routed on the new pulleys and fully seated on each of the ribbed pulleys.

Start the engine and listen closely for any strange sounds that might indicate a problem such as a improperly belt or a failing pulley bearing.

Be sure to record the belt change in your vehicle's service records.
