Great video. I'm assuming the o2 sensor you've taken out is bank 2 sensor 1?

I replaced all 4. The air/fuel sensors are sensor 1 on each side and the after cat o2 sensors are sensor 2 on each side.

after using the o2 socket where does the other side come unplugged from? i got a 04 rx330 and don’t want to just pull it out without undoing it
@gdupler19663 ай бұрын
I would recommend unplugging the wiring harness before you use the socket. Otherwise, it will twist the wiring and make it more complicated.

Are you saying the 2 front sensors (toward front of the engine) before cat are the same 02 sensor part #? I bought 2 was able to get the one in front right of the Heat Shroud, however the other upstream lower left... (the one going right into the pipe) that connector did not fit? so I had to return one.. I removed it and the holes on the tip of the sensor were different than the one on the right of the heat shroud.... Any info will help.. thx
@gdupler19663 ай бұрын
The air/fuel sensors (before the catalytic converters) are the same. However, the engine is placed in the vehicle sideways. That means there are air/fuel sensors on each side of the engine. One is in the front (first one I described in the video) and the other is in the back of the engine, right next to the firewall (fourth one I described in the video). Hope that helps.

Idk about banging on the nut and tie rod, I did that when I was starting too. Hitting the knuckle once for twice with the second hammer will usually do the trick. Hit it where the bj is and it will usually break apart. Pickle fork works… there’s a ball joint separator tool too. I only hit the tie rod or nut when I’m planning on changing them for sure.

Not the same, but the Sienna is doable. You will need an O2 socket and may have to remove an interior panel depending on which sensor you are replacing. There are a couple good specific videos on youtube and the placement is similar to a video I did on a Lexus RX 330.

Looking at this and looks like the belt isn’t properly lined up with timing marks. CR on belt should be lined up with crank dot. Left hand should line up with drivers side. And right hand should be passenger side. Just a heads up to whoever does this.

Here is the disclaimer, my truck was built in Indiana and the third brake light was adhered to the body/roof with an asphalt type sealant no need to remove headliner I replaced it today all is well.

It looks like you oriented The crush washer with the rounded side to be mated to the housing, but Toyota parts counter told me that the flat side is to go against the housing for proper seal for 2005 Highlander. Did you end up orienting with the rounded or flat side toward the housing?
@gdupler19669 ай бұрын
Good question. If the Toyota parts and mechanic folks are saying orient the crush washer that way, I won't argue. I would say from my experience it doesn't matter as long as you use the proper torque and the washer actually crushes a bit.
@mountainbiker44509 ай бұрын
@@gdupler1966Thanks! I do believe it makes sense. If you look closely at a used Toyota steel crush washer, there is a bit of a "step" on the originally rounded side. It makes sense that you would want the perfectly flat side to be sealed against the housing side of the differential or transfer case to avoid oil leakage from the interior of the differential or transfer case, to the exterior. How much difference it could potentially really makes might be negligible to nothing at all but it does make sense. Thanks for the video! I watched several of these before attempting the job and yours was helpful.

Torque should be around 36 lb ft. I think the 2014-2019 Highlanders have the same diff. Loosen the filler and remove it so the fluid will drain a little quicker ( like removing your oil filler cap before taking out the drain plug ).

Hello there! Quick question: 1)how many miles do you get out of a full tank I noticed your gas gauge showed almost a full tank but you had gone 78 miles My 2004 DC tundra with 215k miles barely goes 180-200 miles on a full tank 2.5” lift 33s I noticed whitish exhaust (? Running too rich?) I’ve changed the MAF sensor Oxygen sensors Spark plugs and wires Cleaned the injectors Still approx 10 mpg I’ve heard some guys get 16-18mpg I’ve also heard the 2004 DC gearing is 4:10 which could be the problem Today I replaced the Vapor Canister Purge valve/canister
