adjustment

When adjusting timing using a timing light with an advance function, do you set the advance to zero and adjust the timing to the BB to get 7 degrees advance? If you want to try 10 degrees do you set the advance function to 3 degrees and time back to the BB (or set to 10 degrees and time to TDC...

It seems the top section of my Hatch isn't completely flush and could use some minor adjustment. According to the service manual, I'd have to drop the headliner. Clearly, this is something I'd like to avoid if possible. Does anyone have experience doing this or does anyone know why it would lose...

Hi guys. I have a 2002 LC100 with complete 2.5 arb lift kits. I got an Ironman bumper and warn winch. So I got a lot of weight in the front, and in order to lift up the from fit 35s I'm wondering what adjustment I should do to the torsion bar such as adjusting the torsion bar spin offset. For...

My seats are out of a RHD cruiser and the left seat (in my LHD cruiser) is missing the cover for the seat back tilt adjustment. I really want to get it looking more buttoned up so if anyone has that part available, please let me know.

Hi All, I have super fat tyres on my 1976 FJ40. The rubber washer on the steering knuckle is precariously close to the inner rim of the wheel hub. It just about touches it. I am considering installing 5mm spacers but then I will need to remove the wheel studs and extend them for longer ones...

I installed a mamba ct26 turbo on my 1hd-ft and realized that I didn’t adjust the preload correctly. Is there a way to change the preload without taking the turbo off?

So I pulled off my BP51 front struts last night so I can send them in for rebuild and I replaced them temporarily with the OEM struts. In the process I seem to have messed up the caster of the passenger front wheel and now has a rub on the rocker when turning right. I'm not sure which of the...

I've had EFS single-nut adjustable panhards on the 80 from way back. Today to temporarily sort out the punctured rear tyre issue while I get a repair kit I took two of the three Toyota factory 16 x 8 wheels with the 285/75-r16's off my box trailer (I only have three of them) with Chinese...

I just had the rear wheelbearings done and had the shop do the park brake shoes while they were in there. The park brake was well out of adjustment when I picked the vehicle up but took it home with the intention of bedding in the new shoes and adjusting it myself (I've always been successful...

Hey, This is my first post on this forum and I am happy to be one of its members. I have a problem in my FJ73 3F engine with the carburetor, it was not original, and I bought a new original carburetor. But I noticed that the distributor need to adjustment, and I set it well, but the problem is...

Hey all, I just installed a new brake booster. I measured the new booster's rod and it was about .05" shorter than the old booster. I tried adjusting it, but I couldn't get the adjuster to move when I tried turning it. I assume the nut on the end of the rod is what is supposed to rotate? I went...

I tried adjusting my parking brake from the interior of my truck (knob and nut tightened all the way). But its still not working. Can someone give me directions on how to do it from the outside?

I was adjusting the headlights on my 1978 and the plastic nut that holds the mounting screw broke, being old and brittle. I would like to find an OEM replacement. I will check the HELP section at one of the Auto parts store for now. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Can anyone explain idle and fast idle to me in basic terms for the FJ60? Wondering how to set these. There is no mixture screw on the '87 smog carb, only idle, fast idle, and I have an A/C idle up as well.

Hey all... Well I was not finding these on line easily, as everyone seemed to be "out of stock" with no estimate time of getting them back in. So, I decided to have my buddy (Sign Co. owner here in Bakersfield, Ca) make them for me. 3.3 MB high resolution and I thought they turned out...

i adjusted mu E rake per FSM a few years ago and it felt good. For some reason i cant remember i messed with it and it was crap after that. I tried doing it again and it didnt really work out well. Today i did it again and it worked out great.this is what made the difference. So this is what was...

I just got my truck back from TJ performance in Orange. Had OME 865s / Torsions / diff drop / Slee Ucas / Fox 2.0s. Truck rides Amazing much better than stock. However their idea of level differs from mine. They had the torsions cranked so high there was 15mm of down travel. Before After...

I am reading the following in the FSM and I don't understand what is meant by "release fork tip play" "I have already adjusted the clutch pedal and now it says "Adjust the play at the release fork tip by loosening the lock nut, then either rotating the pushrod as the pushrod nut is held, or...

Howdy, I'm looking for a heat adjustment lever for my 1976 FJ40. Photo of what I'm looking for below. Preferably with the nylon bushings and clip. I can manufacture one if need be but would rather put my energy into the plethora of other work on the rig. Thank you.

Good afternoon! I'm preparing to do a valve adjustment on my HDJ and it appears an SST is in order. Its the SST 09248-64011 - called the Valve Clearance Adjustment Tool I'd really like to find someone who could loan or rent me the tool. I'm really good (obsessive) about taking care of tools so...
