seized

Can anyone give the bolt size that one would use to free the brake drum? Looks like my wheel cylinder leaked and I believe the brake lining swelled. This drum is really stuck. Any help and suggestions are truly appreciated.

New owner of an LX470 with a stuck and leaking sunroof, currently starting the process of pulling the headliner to get at it and figure out what’s going on. I’ve hit an early and stupid roadblock, the damn assist grips in the second row, specifically the triangle shaped ones right behind the...

friends and colleagues, I finally got my turbo installed on my 78 BJ40 3B (from a 1981 BJ60) and had it running well when my engine seized during shut down a couple days ago. We’re going to pull the oil pan soon to discern whether there may be a simple fix, but if there isn’t, I am very...

Dear Members, I took my 67 FJ40 to a local mechanic to help with an ignition wiring issue I couldn’t figure out. He took out the distributor to check something and then re-installed it. He started it up and the motor seized after about 5 minutes of running. When I went in to check, it looks...

So I'm new here. Hi guys. My '84 FJ60 (F2 motor) just recently had the inevitable smog pump failure, and I didn't have the money on hand to buy a new pump or an idler pulley kit to replace the smog pump (My state is lenient on emissions and I don't need the smog system). What I wound up doing...

A couple weeks ago I bought an FJ60 from a friend of mine who had just changed the head gasket on the 2F (207k miles). It was running just fine, I was working on getting it to pass CA smog (replaced cat this morning). It's had a slow oil leak at the plug, but I checked it before driving, it was...
