I didn’t know the condition of the cooling system, and at 184k miles I wanted to replace the heater Ts anyway. After getting everything apart, it turns out the system was actually in great shape. The old Ts and hoses looked good, and the coolant appeared fairly new. I couldn’t find any record of a coolant service outside of the last timing-belt replacement at 143k miles, I’m at 183k now. so I’m still glad I did it. Now I know everything has been gone through properly and should be good until the next timing-belt service. Those Ts were definitely tough to get off! Interestingly, the new Toyota-recommended Ts looked quite a bit different from the ones that were already installed.

The top one looks to be genuine Toyota, the bottom one is Dorman. I haven't had any luck with the few Dorman parts that I have used in the past.

Could you post up the brake feel after you get the pads bedded? Looking into the same set up later on once I get the Hundy back on the road.
