Seems pretty straight forward. It's nice that the wire is long enough to bring up. Do Virginia Land Cruisers all look this good or do they suffer rust issues as well?

i’m glad my 99 already has the turn signal where it’s supposed to be 😂

Thanks, this was a very thorough and comprehensive explanation with all the details necessary. I am doing my whole front end next month.

Manufacture failure ❤

I can never find the correct one? Which part number is it 😅 I have a 06 forester MT

Never had this problem on my 93 landcruiser it has 243k on it still running a driving

Great info! I have a spare set for Just such an occasion

Is there a better aftermarket part replacement that won’t send debris throughout the system?

Same with a 2006 Tacoma 4 cylinder?

Do you have a tip on setting the preload?

good info

Hi, Any info on anywhere to find body mount bushings for 96 TLC, please.

This is a great idea I love that you're sharing phone calls from regular people like us and your answers to common questions.

Thanks

These and your other videos are a national treasure. Thank you so much for taking the time to document your expertise!

Nice combo of tools. I am sure you have been buying for quite a while. Thank you for all your work and all the videos. I am sure you get to used all of them. I have a friend that I usually do work for him on his 4runner and when he asks about prices of tools, he gets surprised. specially with my few snap-on ones. but they are worth every penny.

that’s a real technician toolbox, i like that you use and like topdon, they are very good scan tools, 🧰 a lot of money 💰 indeed, thanks for showing what you have in toolbox, shows people what it takes to work on trucks cars these days, 👍🇺🇸

Awesome video, thank you for showing us the goods!!

I went metal Tees as well. Both of my kids in college drive 100 series and my daughter kept losing coolant. Over Christmas break I pressure tested and both heater tees were bad…less than 50k miles on them. I just don’t trust plastic parts after Covid. Went metal and I forget about that issue.

Hello otramm. You are doing Good job. With all the info that you provide. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Well , I took the inlet manifold off , last time was okay because I went to town on the casting mis-match, up to 4mm in places going by the gasket set on dowels, not much fun feeding bolts up through the maze, mind you the front stabiliser bar still off from the sump drop with timing chain birthday, cogs guides seals, so a little win, but prefer not to remove if ever a next time.

Pound the fuck out of that rubber seal what a joke! Torque Solution Axle / Output Shaft Seal Tool: Subaru Manual 5/6 Speed / Automatic Transmissions 2005 $40 hand press with ease!

Okay, that’s gunna stink , neutralise with cats piss ?

Mine blew in my 99 suburban, didn't know because I was on highway and antifreeze and steam exited beneath and out the back at night so I didn't see it until I got to my exit. Head gasket blew from overheating.

I changed mine twice a week, just to be sure

Get some metal ones?

Dorman probably makes metal replacements. I’d use those over the OEM plastic Tees.

Awesome information!

5th gen 4Runner automatic transmission fluid flush and replacement. Is this a home mechanic capability?

did the job today on the inside bolts...swivel extension w/12mm socket, 15 inches of extensions and a nylon prybar about an inch in width push pry bar between steering shaft boot and pedal bracket, twist 90 degrees causing about a 3./4 inch gap where you can just see the two rh nuts extension length pointing at 11 oclock put your socket just thru the gap at the top and then raise your hand end and pivot the extension length towards the nut. break loose with hand rachet and change to electric on the bottom bolt you just have to pivot your extension set up down a bit more down to where your prybar/stick of wood to get it onto the nut, break loose. gtg on reassembly dab a bit of grease into your 12 mm socket to hold the nuts while you start them again put you whole extension/socket/nut at 11 oclock just gently squeeze the socket thru the gap then pivot to aim at the studs hope this helps someone love your channel otramm

Sorry, I meant heater valve

G*day, our heater hose on Landcruiser 80 was leaking but we mis diagnose the source. Regardless, is there a good quality brass option out there?

Every time your face pops up I smile, you , sir have virtually rebuilt my 80 series. Thank you so much for your videos.

i replace all my customers heater tees in 100s with metal tees.

Same trash on 2011 ford trucks, replaced mine with brass tee.

hey otramm, do you have the part numbers for the beairngs? looking to replace mine while i do the rotors this weekend. also what kind of grease should i use to repack the bearings? thank you for your time.

Hi Ryan Great instructional video. May I make a few observations. You had a dream run in removing components. On our Landcruiser it took 5 tonnes to press the old rotor off the bearing hub. Why didn't you show how the bearing cups were installed -- was installation as per bearing manufacturer's instructions? I would have liked to hear your explanation of why Toyota manufactured the drive axle with a M8 tapped hole in the end. Lastly the anti-rattle spring was not installed correctly. Cheers

Did this on the LX a few years ago. It felt really strange to just trust the plug gap, but I guess that's just how it is now!

we like this guy great mechanic thank you for your advices❤

The little triangle piece that closes off the opening between the timing belt and the AC compressor, behind the fan bracket. Did you put tat back in of camera somehow? Or did you forget to reinstall it? Because I didn't see that get reinstalled in the video.

Very good video. Do you have a recommendation on replacing the coolant as far as miles go? 2014 LC

How many miles on the engine? And was coolant ever changed?

Car care nut had a video on the 5.7 a while back and said that the head gasket going on the 5.7 posses a conundrum for the mechanic due to the block not being machinable. Do you agree and have you been seeing many of these? I believe he said he was seeing that 5 is the most common offender.

Thank you for all of your step by step informational videos. You’ve helped me substantially build up my confidence to attempt the repairs on my 94 80.

40-44:15, torque wrench harmonica balancer bolt, lucky I watched it, was going to assemble dry, it looked dry coming off and it was a test of half inch breaker bar and a good length of pipe on Tear down, seems my last builder like to give it an extra banana of gorilla grunt, above spec. Hense my number #10 sequence bolt found stripped in head, fix that with x14 of M11 x 1.25 x3d inserts , do one, do em all, you’ll need a 90deg drill for aft two insitu, the torque value not on timing case video build. Or oil seal swap

Ford recommends replacing the drain plugs every 3rd change. They’re cheap enough I just replace it every time. Also the new ones are supposed to take 10q instead of 8q, I haven’t noticed much in the way of consumption, around half a quart in 5000 miles

Great tips.
