Does anyone have any pictures, diagrams or video of changing the Serpentine belt on a 2004 ES330? I've gone through quite a few of the forums here and I haven't been able to find anything specific to the ES330 and none of the other Lexus models seem to be similar that I can reference.

Thanks!

Just like any other car. Remove tension by loosening alternator tension, remove old belt, install new.

REMOVE FRONT WHEEL RH
REMOVE FRONT FENDER APRON SEAL RH



REMOVE V (COOLER COMPRESSOR TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY) BELT NO.1
Loosen bolts A and B.
Loosen the adjusting bolt C, then remove the V-ribbed belt.



REMOVE VANE PUMP V BELT
Loosen bolts A and B, then remove the V-ribbed belt.



INSTALL VANE PUMP V BELT
Install the V-ribbed belt on each pulley.
Using a bar, adjust the V-ribbed belt tension, then tighten bolt B. Torque: 43 Nm (439 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.)
Tighten bolt A. Torque: 43 Nm (439 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.)



INSTALL V (COOLER COMPRESSOR TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY) BELT NO.1
Install the V-ribbed belt on each pulley.
Tighten the adjusting bolt C, then adjust the V-ribbed belt tension.
First tighten bolt A, then tighten bolt B. Torque: 18 Nm (178 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) for bolt A 58 Nm (591 kgf-cm, 43 ft. lbs.) for bolt B
INSPECT DRIVE BELT DEFLECTION AND TENSION

Hi, I just joined too and was looking for exactly this. JSM1284 is there any chance that you could re-post the pictures? They are not showing up as of my posting this. Thanks!
EDIT: This was an issue related to the Chrome Browser i was using. Looking at the website with IE your pics show up fine. Sorry for the confusion

Thanks for the great info. I changed the power steering and air cond./compressor belts on my ES330a couple of days ago. I really haven't had much experience working on cars so this was a little daunting. I really only wanted to do the work for the experience of it. It was only $139 to have my regular service guy do it so it wasn't like I saved a huge amount of maney or anything but I do have an extra $100bill in my pocket now....
Thanks Again.

Is it recommended to have the serpentine belt and water pump changed with the timing belt on 06 ES330? BTW, I'm at about 110K miles.

why not change it?

Yes, do the power steering belt as well.

You do not have a serpentine belt. But, rather two drive belts.

But, yes get them changed.
