Engine hung up.
 
Hello Camry fans! I need your help.
My Camry is a 2007 2.4L 2AZFE engine. After raising the engine to replace the belt tensioner, the engine will not come all the way down. I removed the engine mount nut on the passenger side. I don't see anything holding it up. Any ideas? My first post here. Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

It's hard to quarterback this from over the net, but double check that nothing is under or getting pinched. Might try lifting and settling it down a couple times, maybe just not lined up.

Thanks patonium for your reply. I solved this issue yesterday. What was holding up the engine was the cv axle shaft. The u joint was in a position where it was holding up the engine. So what I did was support the engine with a jack and 2x4 on the oil pan, put the car in neutral, and turn the rotor. That freed up the engine. I had to use a long pry bar in between the cv shaft and mounting bracket to line up the hole and the stud. And I also fixed the rattling noise from the new tensioner. Just had to torque it down a little more. Do you know the torque value of that bolt? Hope this helps others who may be in similar predicament. Thanks for trying to help. I really appreciated. 👍🇺🇸

I replied to your other post, but I'm still happy you got it squared away!

Thanks Patonium, really appreciate your input. It's interesting that you and I have the same 2007 Camry with a 2AZ-FE and also share the same enthusiasm. I also have a small collection. I'm into surplus mainly but of course have modern stuff as well 😉. Talk to you soon!

Again, thanks for sharing and I appreciate the sharing of the same enthusiasm! I'm pretty much open to all facets there, old or new!
Confession here, (I'm going to post this as well) I have recently purchased a new Camry which is a 2012 SE with V6.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still about the ''07 Camry!!!! And, '07 will always have a place in my heart.
Save travels my friend!
