Hey All,
2004 LX470. I need to replace my rear passenger hydraulic line that goes from the top of the shock. It is leaking from a pinhole up near the accumulator. After bringing it to a nearby mechanic who absolutely could not wrap his head around the repair and wanted to cut in to the body above the shock, and then the "best" mechanic around who flat out refused to touch it... i'm feeling out of options. I think i am plenty capable to do the repair myself... yesterday I did the two post cat O2 sensors and changed out a leaking exhaust flange in an hour. I have looked at a LOT of threads that relate to the repair and just want to get any additional advice on doing it. I have read that a flex head ratchet wrench is the best option on the rear so I will be picking a set of those up. Does anyone know what size the head is on the two bolts for the line at the top of the shock? I have the parts already and a couple spare felt backup rings in case i accidentally mash them up. Tips, tricks, tools, advice, anything to help me get this done would be great.
Thank you
