whats the torque specs for the caliper and the wheel?

Heat then spray cool water on them.

Do you remember the part number for those 3 bolts that hold that part on. I'm striking out figuring it out

Did you put a Land Cruiser gauge cluster in your LX?

Great video, thank you! A++, A1!

Great vid!! Appreciate your attention to detail. Just bought an 01 lx470 💪 gonna throw some fresh oil in her tomorrow

New subscribers also bought a chep Lx470 with mass rust by being naive.

I am screwed without knowing much i just purchased an 2000 LX 460 for $5k with major rust and not even checking none of it. Just was exited the price was low and it drives fine.

Another easy quick tip; look at the brand of tires too while you’re there. If they’re mismatched, very old or of a totally unknown brand it could be a quick indication that the owner skipped on costs elsewhere too!

My Lexus dealership broke my antenna on my 2007 LX470 today while washing the damn truck. Should I insist that they replace the entire motor/antenna assembly? This looks like a hornet's nest rying to take the thing apart and replace the antenna. Thank you.

lmao if you dont care about the bolt, ide have thought torches is the easiest

Im about to take over my parent's '98 land cruiser and your videos have been an incredible help, especially the pre purchase inspection and this as well! Thank you for putting all of these together, it'll make maintaining the old girl far easier for me

This morning when I first opened the hood to look at the level of the fluid it was above the max line but after it pumped it went exactly on the Max line, which I think is normal? Also I just tested my accumulator and it took around 28 seconds to pump the break fluid before it stopped, it sounded good. One more thing, the Break fluid was above the max line before starting the engine this morning, but after it pumped it leveled with the max line. I think that's normal? Anyway this video is extremely helpful

This will not necessarily get rid of the check engine light, what one needs to do after cleaning the sensor is remove the negative power cable on the battery for 30 minutes to reset the computer

Thank you for this video, learned I have a rusting exhaust manifold area, everything else looks clean 🙌

Great video, I can’t find the check list can you share it again?

What about the pad retainers and anti-squeal shims? Watched to confirm the amount of grease on those parts. Very well done video production.

Useful vid, upvoted, thanks. Why u dont fit anti squeal shims or wear indicators?

An old mentor of mine introduced me to heating it up and touching it with beeswax. The heat melts the beeswax and the natural oil in it creeps through the threads. Been using that trick for years on old steam flanges and pipe unions!

Great video thanks

Thanks brother this video helped me out alot 🙏

I have a 2013 Acura TL that I just bought. The fog lights and turn signals both look kinda like this. I’m totally going to use this product. Thanks man 👍

Mine is a pipe with studs so i cannot cut it off or screw up the threads on the stud. Its very rusted and when i remove the rust the NUT looks shiny like its molded together. Any tips, The Nut it self is okay, fits 17 socket but like i mentioned the back side of the nut to the stud looks molded together from the heat, my guess.

A light squirt of silicone spray under lip of grommet prior to removing the grommet. Let sit a couple minutes and work it out much easier.

I got one way worse

Need to do something for my o2 sensor bolts. They look melted.

Hey Greg - thanks so much for sharing this. I have 2001 JT100 I drive in Honduras and really would like to add CarPlay, so this really helps! One question: the parking brake gizmo: maybe you can PM me about that ?

Thanks for the info - this has gotta be my problem cause I can smell the unburnt gas so the valve is not recycling the unburnt gas. BTW I switched to real gas two tank fulls ago and car is running much better but I expected problems with parts that weren't used to real gas (labeled recreational gas at station). I switched after smelling the ethanol added gas in the can for my lawn mower which smells like rotting plants. I said no way am I using that shit in any of my engines. Unbelievable that gas companies would sell that shit for anything but maybe compost additive. Long story short all my engines run much better with more power but I expected them to have some hiccups while getting used to real gas again, and so it was that my Lexus needed some minor adjustments and a few things cleaned and/or new sensors etc, also did a complete tune up adding new coil igniters, spark plugs, etc. But in the end it is worth it. It runs like a race car now. Major power increase! PVC valve is gunked up so I will replace it now too. Thanks again. Tom Holland

Nice work!

What do you do if the bolt is in a bracket? Can't put them out. (Rusted out bolts on electrical fan mounts 98 XJ)

Hey man, i cleaned my throttle just like u did, after cleaning it up, engine's warm up, idle is going up and down, then its stabalize in a high idle. Anything you can recommend?

Super video 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Hi Greg... I have a 1999 Lx470 with 194k miles.... Was thinking about going with Full Synthetic... is there a problem switching over to full if its only had conventional prior to this?

Forget these guys jumping striaight to the acetylene torch. Sure, if i had a garage where i could store it i would. For my old F150. I cant store the extractor nuts right under the seat and be good to go. Same with the angle grinder. Thanks for the video. Sometimes you need a precision surgeon. Something you just need a bandaid.

It's crude to automatically assume that standard tools, cleaning and lubrication won't work.

Now take your 20.... (21\22) mm soket and a bar and remove caliper bracket bolts???? Can you please write a comment what size is it?

Great milage. I had to stop to take a photo of mines because it was at 80085

Dangggggg shes only half dead 😎

Seen someone mention taking off the oil filler ext. Do you think that may be easier for retrieval if bits fall into the valves?

Awesome vid! If you're still looking for a solution to where to mount the SCII cleanly, I may have one! Product I have is for Tacoma but your steering column cover looks like it may work, here's more information with images and reviews: www.tacomaworld.com/threads/scangauge-ii-mount-3d-printed-asa.829156/#post-29791755. Lmk, we can work something out!

If I am just replacing the brake pads, do you need to take the cap off of the brake fluid reservoir? If so, will I need to bleed the brakes, only just for replacing pads?

Good to watch before I attempted the same. Thank you good sir!

What size hose fits

Hi Greg, I am closing in on a Landcruiser soon, do you have the list available?

What effect does replacing the PVC valve have on the engine? Thank

Thanks for the video. Nicely done.

I have essentially the same tool load out, but I would recommend you throw in a different zip ties. They have saved me many a time.

Thanks greg. Make sure yall hit yall hit the like button. 😎👍🏾💯

Thanks for this video. I just did this. The only thing I would recommend would be to keep the motor to reattach the shaft. I pulled the antenna and cut the cable. It was too wobbly without the motor as a base.

Where is this?? 😂
