Ah - I had not thought of that. Will check with them.

Thanks for this. I tried it but did not help me. My problem is that the key is not getting fully inserted - the last 1/8" is still staying out. So I cannot turn it any way. I finally called a locksmith. He struggled with it for a couple of hours. Finally said the old ignition will need to be...

Tried a lot of things today with the key and various flat head screwdrivers and small picks. But could not get the keys inserted fully not get the cylinder to move in any direction. Still stuck in the Acc position. It does depress a little bit - like what you have to do before putting it into...

Thanks. Will try what you suggest today and report back...

Hi all, I am teaching my daughter driving. Somehow she managed to pull the key out of the LX while it was still in the Acc position (without turning it all the way to lock). Now the key won't go back in fully so I cannot turn it at all. It goes in almost all the way in except maybe the last...

Here's the obvious but did you try putting a rust penetrant? Also sometimes an impact wrench has better luck to break stuff loose rather than steady pressure.

I just installed the StrongArm 4361 strut from Amazon and they are indeed 1" shorter than the oem ones and the hood does not open as much as with the original. But for $35 it might be worth it.

Sorry - ignore the previous image. Look at this

I seem to remember not disconnecting at the bottom of the steering column (where it goes over the splines) but somewhere midway on the column. I'll check under the hood when I get back home tonight and try and some some pictures.

You do not need to remove the steering rack to disconnect the steering shaft. There is a linkage towards the bottom of the shaft (just above the steering rack itself) that you can disconnect. Then disconnect the TREs, center the steering rack so that the TREs will have approx equal nof of...

No - I don't have it any more. I do have the front diff of a 2003 LX470 with the original gears.

Still have the 3rd row seats, rear differential carrier, tow hooks and steering rack.

Folks, I've been getting the P0420 and P0430 "Catalytic System efficiency below threshold" codes for both banks. I've reset it a few times but it comes back after 50-60 miles. I've changed all 4 O2 sensors (my 100 has around 168k miles so thought it would be a good idea in any case). I've also...

@Robert - sorry the springs are taken. Yes - I should get out into the trail more often! Cheers Rohitash @Tuscany Rider - the drive axles are taken. I could try and figure out shipping quotes for the steering rack and dolly but it would be expensive. Not sure if the dolly is worth it unless...

Drive axles available.
