So, I tried to pull the nozzle up through the cowl; bad idea for 2 reasons. 1), it would never fit and 2) the hose is so short there is no way you could put it back together. Anyway I took it apart today . Slid the side pieces of trim off the plastic studs fairly easily, unhooked the washer...

Thanks again, I kind of wish they just popped out from the top of the cowl; but where would the fun be in that?

I’ll wait until my brother in law is in town, he works for beer

Thanks , looks doable

2008 lx570

Drivers nozzle dribbling out, can't seem to get it unclogged. Looks like I need to remove the cowl. Do I just pull the wipers and weather stripping? I don't really see a seam behind the weather strip. I haven't tore into it yet, since I don't have the new nozzle. Thanks in advance Tom

Sounds good, I'll give it a try

I went back with oem front rotors and pads( for an 08).I think it was like $280 shipped from Lexus in Scottsdale, Az. I got a hardware kit from autozone for $10. The old rotors and pads were not oem. Pads had plenty of life left, and the rotors looked fine, but had a weird blackish color on the...

It's not uncommon for a damper motor to have gone bad. Run the A/C system diagnostics: Hold the A/C and recirc buttons, then turn the key on. After a few seconds the system will cycle through its diagnostics. It is normal to see code 21 - Solar Sensor if you are in a garage or carport, and not...

I believe its called the hvac mode servo, at least on his 4runner it was. We bought a cheap replacement( like $30). I can't find the receipt. There's a video on youtube. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same on a gx, but I thought the the blend door was for fresh vs recirculate?

Sorry, I don’t remember the name of that servo, or if it’s identical ; but my son has/ had an 04 v8 4Runner that wouldn’t switch to defrost ( seems like that would be default for safety reasons). He was able to change it fairly quickly, but he has smaller , steady hands. It was behind the glove...

Yeah I was thinking backwards for some reason ( caliper to knuckle), even though I’ve seen the video. I just hate the idea of modding oem for future owners. I really like driving this lx, so I guess as long as I can afford gas; it’s not an issue

Again showing my ignorance, since I haven’t even looked at my brakes; but would there be a way to fit a bushing in the calipers on the 2016 up calipers instead of drilling the knuckles? That would be a really thin bushing

Obviously, I’m not an expert since I posed the initial post on this thread. From what I’ve read following the links about the brake upgrades whether tundra/ sequoia/ 2016 up lx570 ; the rotor diameter is around a centimeter or so bigger than the older lx570’s . It’s been a long, long time since...

Thanks for the fast replies. I think I read about 16 up upgrade, but couldn’t seem to find it again. I’ll follow that path
