I am here in DFW and used whoever Sewell Lexus down on Bryant Irvin in Ft. Worth directed me to... he was very careful about the temp. and humidity the days we tried to do it and I've had no condensation going on two years.
So, no direct recommendation but whoever the vendor was for Sewell...
OK, may just be reading it wrong but I am looking at the torque #'s for the front axle rebuild in the FAQ and want double check something.
I see the torque listed for the drive flange nuts at 26 ft./lb. and then later I see a note that says:
"3 - Go super easy on tightening the tiny nuts on...
Putting my front hubs back together and wondering what you all think... to what extent do you all use anti-seize on stuff when you put it all back together. Father was a Land Rover mechanic and dear old dad taught me to put it on everything... so it's habit, though many I've talked to don't...
I have my fronts apart and can't get the oil seal out of the hub to get the inner bearing out... trying not so whack the bearing with a drift.
Is there a trick to getting this thing out I am missing? I read the FAQ, did I overlook?
Thanks.
That is what I was getting at Sanchez. I am just not sure what's on the inners now. Can I get to the inners without having to go any deeper or do I now have the birfs and axles out?
At that point I'll feel like a fool for not just doing the whole thing.
Apologize in advance, I searched and didn't find a definitive answer.
Replacing the rotors and want to know if I can leave the inner bearings in for the time being... just remove and repack the outers.
Stupid question but no concern about mixing grease w/ the inners (if that even makes...
A little off topic but anyone know if these (front flaps) would be a fit for an LX450? Want to rip of the running boards but keep as clean a look as possible.
Hey all. Uncovered the entire maintenance history on the truck (96 LX450) while ordering a heater hose today at the local dealership. Looks like 12k ago the head gasket was done and the part number they used to do the work is listed. So, a couple of questions. I saw that these have been...
Searched a bit and have some help. Rotor is moving around a bit but won't come off. Rubber plug missing over adjustment and can't find an adjustment screw below where it should be. Tried threading some bolts in the other two spots to no avail. Again, not completely stuck, moving around a...
Grounding Question
Not completely on topic but can I ask where you connected the main ground? I have tried everywhere (have an Alpine W205) and the best spot is a bolt connected to the round tubing behind the head unit. I get a constant whine, gets louder when the headlights are on, and a bit...
Hope someone can help me out. Haven't had the thing long... '96 LX450 and I am out of town for the near term (3+ mos.). Wife is the daily driver and is having an engine light issue :doh:. Anyone recommend a good mechanic in the area?
Hi all. Always wanted one of these rigs, just bought a '96 LX450 with 88k., no lockers (Though Bush's "economic stimulus package" should fund some ARB's). One owner, wife of the Lexus Dealer's Service Dept Manager. HG done preventatively 6k ago. Probably overpaid but hadn't seen one this...
