Just got a shipping quote of approx. $20 from UPS Ground. DM me with an offer if interested. I'm happy to email a copy of the receipt and pictures of the unopened/unused part. DJ

I've got a new/rebuilt alternator (Denso 2100565) for the 100 series that I never opened or installed. Still in packaging w/ receipt from Rock Auto. I purchased it back in August thinking I had an alternator issue, when it was just the idler pulley and serpentine belt that was making the noise...

Thanks, this worked! I had to first follow the FAQ instructions to 1. delete all keys except the master, then 2. program a new master. I tried programing the new master without deleting the old keys in the ECU and that didn't work. Once I deleted the old keys, programing the new master accd...

20 good whacks (seriously) with a sledge hammer did the trick! Tried multiple sizes of the tie rod end/ball joint separators, which didn't work. Another 30 min job that took all day, thanks to seized bolts and that stuck tie rod end! Off to get an alignment tomorrow morning.

I'm in the middle of replacing the outer tie rod ends on my '99 LX 470 and I can't get the tie rod end to unseat. I've loosened the retaining/alignment bolt and removed the pin and castle nut bolt. I've tried hitting it lightly with a mallet, but that didn't work. I went to Autozone and...

Ok, so I followed the directions in the pdfs posted by brownfox and white_lx to both adjust the e-brake adjuster inside the rotor, as well as the cable and adjusting bolt on the outside of the bellcrank. Still no e-brake. My wife says the e-brake worked prior to the brake job, although I'm not...

Reviving this thread as I just replaced the rear pads and rotors on my '99 LX 470. The job itself was pretty simple, but now I have no parking brake. That is, I don't notice any difference when pulling the e-brake up. I've tried this in neutral and in drive and the car rolls/moves despite the...

Do you have the part numbers for the replacement hoses? Looking to do this job in the next week or two.

Where did you get the hood and lift gate struts? My hood struts need to be replaced, but toyota dealer quoted me like $80 a piece.
