Latest find from my recent LX450 purchase that was "always serviced at the dealership"...haha

While changing pads and rotors, this is what I find....3 nuts, 10 and 12mm, and 3 BOLTS!! At least all the cone inserts were there!! Never assume when buying used. All new ordered, coming in Tuesday.

Very nice!

Might have been a meth dealer.

I could name at least one dealer where I've seen work that bad or worse. Mike

Haha @Pin_Head !!...and that's why I do my own work, until I can't !! I know this is one of my first posts, but a big thanks to all you IH8Mud forum members, as I'm on this forum everyday reading up how my build is gonna go.

Looks like he raided my spare parts drawer...

Meanwhile people are arguing about 63 or 67 pounds of torque.

Wow. 1 out of 6. Thats impressive.

Even better if you look closely the 'flange' portion of some of the washers/bolts are ground down, yep, found out why when putting the wheel BACK on! unless torqued down exactly as they had it (which was wrong), the flanges outer perimeter make the plate 'larger' so the wheel wouldn't slip back over the plate correctly, it was a fun day!

Able to fix on the fly...... That's an attribute according to the WRC job description...... WRC = World Rally Championship.

Thats how I fixed mine when I stripped a stud. Holds up fine!

I treat my lawnmower better than that.

Line mechanic practicing his trail repairs. Unlikely but I could see that happening at a dealer. I see stuff all the time that was "dealer serviced"
