He cheated - oil was drained.

If you can get a couple strippers and a Polka Accordion player I'm there.

THIS GUY is available cheap.

Ahhh, that's what you meant. Couldn't see the link earlier with the iPhone. Very Funny.

That makes my back hurt just looking at it and my back already hurts.


btw, is that Ross K in the hat? looks like him. haha

 

[JLH911]

Okay, so it looks like it'll be Frank, Seth, Dave W(for part of the day) and maybe Peter.

Looks like it'll be a good time.

9am this Sat and I'll email an address to those that need it.

Thanks guys.

 

[Spike Strip]

email me the addy, too... I'm not sure yet, may have to work.

 

[Spike Strip]

btw, are you planning on doing the clutch and PP and flywheel and pilot bearing while everything is out ?

Yep! getting prices right now actually. probably won't be Toyota oem though. Not enough time to get it in time.

 

[Spike Strip]

Get Aisin brand Clutch disc and pressure plate (Toyota OEM) and Koyo or NSK pilot, but the throw-out bearing from the dealer... The Koyo is not OEM and I haven't seen an aftermarket one as beefy as the Toyota one. You may want to get a new TO Bearing collar too if there's a lot of miles on yours. That's dealer item, too.

All Car Parts in Canoga Park can get them in a day. (or SOR or Mark A. or MAF)

You have an '86-87 ? Right ?


Release bearing part # 90363-52001

Hub: 31231-60070

 

[JLH911]

Thanks and yeah its an 87. I called Dan but can't get it until Monday without paying a lot for 2nd day.

 

[JLH911]

Talked to someone there at Allcarparts. All they can get I the Sachs and Daikin brand. Anyone heard of these?

I think Sachs is German but don't know of the origin or quality.

 

[Spike Strip]

I'd just go to a local dealer and ask for a TLCA discount ... Should be good for %10-15... They should be able to get 'em in a day or so or call Mark A.

 

[Spike Strip]

I think the aftermarket I've seen recommended is the Luk brand. I've never used either if the ones you've mentioned, but have read neg reviews of the daikin. I bought the Aisin from ACP ... guess they can't get 'em now.

Try that place near you, in Eagle Rock, ETY parts.

I see Aisin kit listed on their site:

[JLH911]

Yeah. I'll call them. Thanks!

 

[JLH911]

Just an update...Parts are in at ETY. They say it's all Aisin except for one Koyo bearing.

I will PM those that have shown interest.

That's it for now.

Thanks again and see you guys Saturday

Do you have a clutch alignment tool?

 

[Spike Strip]

One should come with the clutch "kit" ...

 

[IH8Wood]

Wan't sure he got a kit.

 

[JLH911]

Do you have a clutch alignment tool?

comes with a kit but they're out of the kit so I have to buy it individually. It's like 2 bux.

 

[JLH911]

So I was researching this job a little more and it looks like a Torch might come in handy to take off the oil pan. I know there is a method that uses a block of wood and a bottle jack, but that takes a while.

Some have had success with some heat from a torch and having the pant come right off.

Anyone have a torch?

I also noticed that we I'm going to need a pilot bearing removal tool...anyone got one of those? If not, I think Autozone will rent them out. Just trying to get everything in place.

Thanks
