Many thanks 2001LC! I’ve read many of your posts and comments on this procedure alone. Grateful that you don’t get tired of answering questions.

Holy crap - that is wild. My FSM for a 1999 LX has very different numbers.

Thanks Tom, I’m also a little (maybe a lot) OCD and used almost the same steps as you outlined. I may have had grease on the face of the claw washer tho, causing my higher torque numbers. But, I’m still not clear on where these bearing resistance (preload) fish scale values are coming from...

Thanks. That settles my nerves a bit. Seems like a crazy high torque on such a thin nut. I hope someone chimes in to educate me the fish scale weight spec and how it relates to what I see in the FSM.

I've read a lot of the posts on front bearing preload that have been written over the years but I'm struggling with something here..., I have a 1998 LX470 and I have the FSM for a 1999 LX. My FSM says 3.1-5.0 Nm or 28.8 - 44.2 In. lbf). Does this really equate to 9.5-15 lbs on a scale? The...

I just tackled mine. Looking at the new seal, the groove in the seal looks shallow but there is a soft flap in it and below that flap is the cavity where the plastic rim sits. I was thinking about how to get the adhesive down in there and had an ah ha! moment. I took a needle used to air up...

You rock! Thank you!

Question on this. My ‘98 calls for seal part 63251-52020. The new seal has a section where there s a wider flap. The total length of this wider flap is longer than the left or right short edges of the glass but the flap is shorter than the front or back she’s of the glass. It’s between two dots...

Yep, I’m with Awesomesquid on this. I’m just installing quarter glass seals in mine for the first time. The seals have pre installed gooey stuff. The groove is actually pressed shut due to the pre installed gooey stuff. You can gently pull open the groove and you’ll see that the groove is deeper...

I’ve removed a bunch of the interior trim, headliner and panels from my 98 LX470 for a few reasons. Mainly to address some leaks. One of the leaks comes from the upper rear quarter glass it leaks between the glass and the seal. There is something attached on the glass and the water leaks around...
