Toyota special tool?

Okay, I didn't get a response to my post about changing the drive belt on my 4 cyl. 2002 Camry, so I've got the shop manual now and have a question.

Maybe someone will speak up on this request.

Step 12. Slowly turn the drive belt tensioner clockwise for more than 3 seconds and remove the drive bolt (I'm pretty sure they mean "belt", not "bolt"...but correct me if I'm wrong.) using the special Toyota tool (number 09249-63010 or equivalent).

Will you give me an idea of what this special tool is like? They don't show a picture of this tool in my manual. Is is similar to a common garage tool I may already have?

Thank you for any assistance.

Will

Google is your friend.

Did you try entering 09249-63010 and doing a search?

you don't need an SST to remove the drive belt. all you need is a 1/2" breaker bar and a, 1/2" drive 6 point, 19mm socket. that should fit right in there and while you pull on the breaker bar and remove the belt.

Thanks for the advice from both of you. One of my problems was I didn't know exactly which bolt was the tension release point. I did the google search and came up with a diagram that really helped. I purchased the 1/2" in breaker bar and 19mm socket. It was a two person job but it worked fine. We were able to replace the drive belt.

Thank you again for your advice!
