flintknapper reacted to Slickspawn's post in the thread Front Differential Bushing Replacement - the Easy way! with
Like.
I did my front bushing and replaced the rear and side arms of my front diff on Friday afternoon last week. I followed @flintknapper method and used a 1-1/2” hole saw to core out the rubber. Then I used a wood chisel since mine are flat on one... -
flintknapper replied to the thread Installation of 90 degree oil filter adapter on 1FZFE.Start up rattle for some folks and you can completely avoid the 'mess' with a vertical filter by placing a ziplock bag over the filter (after loosening) and unscrew it, zip bag. Captures the oil and oil filter...then just work it either up or...

:cool: Share some pics!

flintknapper replied to the thread Tips on repainting wheels LX470 anyone......?.Yes, found what I think is a good match. Cleaned up wheels first (had years of road grime on them) then sprayed wheels. Let cure overnight then two coats of Matte Clear Coat. Holding up well a year later now.

flintknapper replied to the thread installed a oil seperator on my 80.Nice, clean installation, good job. Now let's get that fan shroud replaced. ;)

Installed an oil catch can. Very easy installation. Easy access for draining it. The can came from Amazon.

flintknapper replied to the thread About to do a AC Flush -- Rotted AC Line left open --> Replaced AC condenser, TXV / expansion valve, AC compressor, receiver drier.Dad is right. The drier is really just a desiccant bag on these units. It will look something like this: (may not be your part number) The tube that holds it is on the side of the condenser. The TXV (Thermal Expansion Valve) attaches to...

flintknapper replied to the thread Has anyone advanced the timing on 1FZ-FE?.I run mine at 7° BTDC.

flintknapper replied to the thread AC System Slow Leak.Agreed. 👍

flintknapper replied to the thread AC System Slow Leak.^^^^^ That would be a good plan IMO. There are Small Diameter flexible hoses available these days for A/C work and connectors of sorts.

flintknapper replied to the thread Poll on total brake failure in 100 series.It was good preventative maintenance. At some point every unit is going to fail. How and when it fails....and where you are at the time determines the severity of that experience. For me.....it failed while parked and I had some prior warning...
-
flintknapper replied to the thread Radiator fan not spinning?.Yes, resistance from the fan clutch (cold) is normal. At normal operating temps (summer weather) fan should spin all the time when the engine is on and probably forcefully IF your fan clutch is operating properly. In fact, many folks that live in...

flintknapper replied to the thread Poll on total brake failure in 100 series.Yes Sir. 'LIKE' year models share the same parts and design (even if you see different part numbers for each). Of course from year model to year model there may be some differences. But the brake system for a 99 LC and LX are the same.
-
flintknapper replied to the thread Radiator fan not spinning?.The Condenser fan is designed to move air across/through the A/C condenser which sits in front of your radiator. While it is large enough to 'aid' in the heat exchange for that item (condenser) it would have negligible effect on the cooling...
-
flintknapper replied to the thread Radiator fan not spinning?.Not normal, it should turn very freely. In fact, even a good breeze (vehicle still) will slowly turn the blade. IF you feel any resistance something is amiss.

flintknapper reacted to mdcoa's post in the thread Resolved - Diff issue, Oakley KS - any resources? with Like.
You could just grind the splines out of your hub flanges and put them back on, then buy new flanges when you get the diff sorted…if your flanges are already needing replacement this is a pretty cost effective approach. Edit: just noticed you...

flintknapper reacted to revelario's post in the thread Oil Cooler Cover Replacement Pics and Tips with Like.
I replaced the hardware but just make sure you clean everything up real good and make sure they’re still serviceable if you decide to reuse. Like not rusted or damaged.
-
flintknapper replied to the thread Poll on total brake failure in 100 series.IF you plan on keeping the vehicle long term then the entire unit (given current prices) is the easiest and best thing to do. The part has actually come down significantly over the last couple of years and is readily available for your year...

flintknapper replied to the thread We're in! '99 LX - new to us!.Yep.
-
flintknapper replied to the thread We're in! '99 LX - new to us!.Axial direction yes. IF you overfill the driveshaft and the seal doesn't allow grease to pass you can unwittingly apply a LOT of pressure against the Tcase. The driveshaft as you know is designed to lengthen and shorten under suspension travel...
-
flintknapper replied to the thread Poll on total brake failure in 100 series.It may have been the 'first' your mechanic has personally seen....but it is NOT an uncommon failure. In fact, I'd submit it WILL happen to every vehicle at some point. The only question is with regards to which item(s) fail. Often it is the pump...

flintknapper replied to the thread We're in! '99 LX - new to us!.They might still be serviceable if it hasn't been going on for too long (and the squeak is indeed a U-joint). But unless you remove the driveshaft it is hard to tell what kind of wear they have since usually you can't move them because of...
-
flintknapper replied to the thread We're in! '99 LX - new to us!."squeak-squeak" is very likely U-Joint or brake pad rubbing. My money would be on a U-Joint or two.

I gathered up all the parts to do front and rear sway bar links. I didn't see any good threads that spelled out the Toyota p/n's for doing this job. I think I will start a separate thread so folks can find it easier than if it were buried in here.

The SST is probably a crows foot with a specific size.
