Nice point about coming at from the rear of the front tire, when I tried to replace mine I was still tied up in a pretzel from the figure 8 oil gasket that should be changed at the same time, the front opening I had seemed like the easy way to go if I could just sneak my hands up there. Also if...

Feel your pain, want to say the previous owner of mine had a 3/8 hose clamp on, I replaced it with a factory clamp and had no issues. I would of like to replace the hose out of the engine block but my hands were not nimble or small enough to negotiate that problem.

2700.00 seems steep, especially with post-COVID shortages being gone, but that is what the dealer is known for, hopefully, and a quality job. The Rebuild is doable and I understand it might seem intimidating. It is something that is at the core of the vehicle these things are tanks and they...

I see a picture available now, I feel for you if you need this part to complete the repair. I will be checking my condensate tube. Hope your repair went smoothly and post a picture.

My 99 LX was a 30mm on the oil filter nut.

I am on the same path, keep us posted as to the results and techniques. Hope it goes smoothly.

These are great data points for future reference, thanks so much for taking the time to share your hard work. Time has passed do you have any thoughts on your original diagnosis?

Mileage wise it sounds early but unless you did all the miles I am not sure how much to trust that benchmark. You checked the booster which is the logical first step. You must decide the risk, mine still gave me some brakes but was much more symptomatic than yours. I also had an annoying sound...

I could be persuaded, I am out of town currently, and it will be next week before I can take a pic and remember all the details such as the new reservoir and wiring. Look for a reply again next Tues.

I have found a couple, they are on the west coast and local pickup only. I assume shipping would be big bucks. I am in TX and will wait for the heat to pass and get serious in the early fall. Check ebay for the listing advertised as Roof sliding Sunroof with roof rack

Will a 03-07 full assembly unit work with the earlier model LX470

I have no experience with this ABS/VSC box there might be a danger of losing some of the internals ie little ball bearings and such. It is a pain to remove the entire unit but not impossible after you do it once you could probably do the removal in twenty to thirty minutes. First time maybe in...

Any tips now that you changed them?

In my estimation similar to me solving a Rubik's cube at first glance, I bow in your general direction with the removal in situ, the actual removal of the entire pump was straightforward with a minimal amount of yoga positioning in the driver's floor pan and dash. the bleeding is the crucial...

for the starter to be cranking, the control circuit would have to be working. So, if battery and cable checks are within specification and the vehicle still cranks slowly, then it’s a slow cranking problem and it’s time to replace the starter, they are rebuildable without too much brain power...
