Can I remove the belt from the 5vz-fe AC?
« on: Jun 05, 2016, 12:00:31 PM »
Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but the AC in my 04 Tacoma (5vz-fe) is going bad and is making a terrible sound. I was wondering if I could just cut the belt for now and fix it later? The only pulleys connected are an idler pulley and the AC compressor. Thanks!

If it is not driving anything else, no reason you can't.
