You’ll be completely underwhelmed at the OEM foam gasket, and more so when it starts leaking again in a few years. A couple years ago I used a piece of rubber window screen spline. It worked great.

Those hammer marks, WTF 😳

Not saying the hammer marks caused the failure, just that it's an indicator of someone that maybe uses force over finesse. Could be he pressed them on with the boots on and they got caught in the cup. They both looks like they're split evenly...

Given the hammer marks on your spindle and that it is both sides, I'm saying it's definitely install, your tech appears to be pretty heavy handed.

Hello guys, my son and I are the new owners of a beautiful 2006 LX with 177,000 on the clock. Overall it looks great with all original glossy paint, nicely preserved leather interior and all original glass with the exception of the windshield...

Looks like quite this list. I may have missed it… but heater tees should be on that list.

Found on the side of the road with a FOR SALE sign…decisions where made So far ordered: Timing belt kit Rear a/c block off kit Condenser Radiator and hoses Drive belt and tensioner AHC works but leaking due to corrosion, valves lots of...

Just finished renovating my garage after my new driveway was poured. Used my 100 to haul home the wall art for the newly renovated garage!

Replaced the door rubber moulding (the ones that mount on the body) for the two front doors. A quick and easy job. My old ones are a little compressed but no tears so of anyone wants them, you can have them for free.

Exhaust sensors (Airflow and Oxygen) as well as mass airflow by the intake now all new and the idle RPM is butter (699-704) under load with f/r AC turned on to 70°F Next up is catalytic converter pull down to decarbonize it for the first time...

The saga continues ... It's been about 18months since head rebuild (Jan 2024). Sept 2024 I had the knock sensor go out. Shop took a look, pulled the intake manifold, replaced knock sensor and re-gapped the valves while they were at it on...

Maybe because I turn wrenches all day every day for the last few decades and just plain tired with little desire to work on my own projects, but I see nothing that would keep me from throwing some new plugs and coils in it and calling it a job...

I replaced mine, 2006 LX, it was definitely a time consuming and required some brute force. I didn’t have any access to air tools or air chisel, I bought a big set of chisels from Harbor Freight and went at the bushing sleeves with that. I also...

The slip joints can take a LOT of grease if it hasn't been done in forever, like around a half-tube for each joint. Pump until you see the joint starting to move a bit.

first try greasing driveshafts and slip yokes (overgrease them)

IF you have not pulled the windshield fully off you just cant tell how extensive this is. If you plan on keeping the vehicle I personally find the doing it right once and being done with it approach to yeild happier results than tempoary patch...

What's up y'all?! My name is Ryan, brand new member and a proud new owner of a 04 LC100, got it at the local Musick Public Auction here in Boise, Idaho where I reside. Closed the auction for $12.5k with fees/taxes. It's got some rust on the frame...

First I do not recommend you work on your brakes. Only qualified mechanics at Toyota should. If on a beer budget. You could. Replace motor with new OEM. Rebuild motor. Have motor rebuilt. New OEM comes with pump and accumulate, if you like...

Hi ! I spend the whole last night read up this thread since the beginning till now and 1st off I just wanted to say I really appreciated your time and effort on trouble shooting this well know issue on our vehicle since there is not much...

I used Mobil 1. I couldn’t get a Toyota bearing for four days, and really needed to wrap it up on the weekend. I use the fish scale to get 12-15 lb of breakaway, and don’t pay attention to the torque.

What grease did you use at last repack? If the red grease turned black that’s heat. Sounds like you know what from what but is there a chance you had them too tight? Toyota can’t provide a non Chinese bearings? I’m just going through my new to...

Sat afternoon, I put in a reman Toyota alternator ($269) with shipping and core charge. I wish I had just replaced everything when I did the timing belt. It would have so much easier. If I did timing belt over, (just did it in June) I would have...
