I don’t know if my procedure is correct or not but use the key in the on position then depressing the gas pedal will move the butterfly to fully open then I clean both sides.

Just trying to understand how the grease tool works.

The grease travels through the center of the axle shaft to the needle bearing?

I think it’s recommended to service the wheel bearings every 30k miles but I wonder if that’s true of the spindle needle bearing also. I can’t imagine fully removing the hub/cv every 30k.

I had the same trouble last year. I ended up finding a pair that were on a shelf at a small dealer in ABQ, NM. I live in CO.

I replaced my originals, also 2003, last fall. The improvement was noticeable. I have 100k miles on the car but I was worried the globes might be NLA soon so I went for it. I did IMPEX and the procurement/install was straight forward

I just did my first wheel bearing work on my car and I went with new OEM bearings as I didn’t know if the PO had replaced them previously with aftermarket or not. I lightly greased the claw washer and preload nuts. I torqued to 50, and I was surprised to read 11-12 on the fish scale. I torqued...

I don’t know how relevant this is here but I removed, dissembled, cleaned, re greased my PS front window motor in my 2003 LX and the performance increases was very noticeable.

I read ACH data from my phone using OBD fusion. Very affordable data tool.

encountered the same thing when I replaced the fuel pump on my LX recently. If you pull the pump out it’s easy and intuitive to reinstall.

I went through this last year. Wanted to keep mine as the mileage is on the low side (100k) so I dropped $4k. They cut out all the rot and welded new metal in. I did the glass install and it looks and functions as new. I’m happy with my decision but if my rig was not otherwise clean I’d start...

I had my door card and vapor barrier removed so I had access to the back of the clips in the door but I don’t think that access is required. I didn’t want to damage the clip retainers on the moulding. I think you could have success just pulling hard but for peace of mind access from inside the...

I do AHC and transmission with OBD fusion. I am almost certain it won’t do ABS bleed though.

Squircle indeed. Your solution was new under bumper receiver? Curt or the like?

Thanks this is helpful. I have the 2” post from One Up and it won’t slide into the Toyota receiver adapter. Seems close but slightly too small. Had not thought about the tailgate yet but makes sense it would be be useable as the hitch receiver is so high on the car. I will go after the adapter...
