Do any of you happen to know the size of the refill bolt?

Well I will admit the 97deg was without the engine running and then I realized that apparently your supposed to have it on. Haha The second time at 117deg was with engine running. I guess Ill have to get a pump to put the ws in with. Any recommendations? I already have the fluid just not the...

So I decided to check the trans fluid on my 06 2wd since it seems to be off and on leaking at the tailshaft housing seal. My scanguage was at 98 deg so I pulled the check plug marked check so I know it wasn't the drag plug . Red fluid gushes out so I close it. Heat the trans to 117 deg open the...

So I'm still having this issue. Basically I drove from MS to Bakersfield, CA and I didn't see a drop leak and there was no slinging of fluid above the drive shaft. Now that I'm here Im seeing a drop here and there but still not much at all. My question is when I brought this to the attention of...

So I just finished a trip from MS to Cali in my 4runner. So before I left I noticed the back brakes would make this light chirp as the wheel turned. It didn't change whether I was applying the brakes or not. So during the trip that chirp became more of a slight grind and chirp. So I parked on a...

So I was swapping my rotors out this afternoon because my old ones are too thin to turn and are warped (no caliper sticking necessary) as I was doing this I decided to check the wheel bearing. So I spun the hub and noticed a little noise not much at all and there is no slack. Could this small...

I had a Camry that I decided to have the engine rebuilt in. After a few months it started to get warm every now and then. Basically at highway speeds it would stay normal then say I came to a red light from 70 to 0. It would immediately start to warm up over normal. Radiator, water pump, and...

Would pulling the two ecu fuses I forgot the names but they are in the engine fuse box, do the reset for that?

It was flushed around 400 miles ago haha. I hadn't had the car long so I honestly can't say whether it actually changed anything. Maybe an ecu reset would help. But I just don't really recall whether it did this before or after the flush at toyota. I've probably had it a maximum of 900 miles...

So my 2006 SR5 2wd V6 165k miles recent purchase seems to shift different than I'm used to in other vehicles. I do mainly town driving 35-45 mph. So say I take off at a usual rate and get up to 40 mph speed limit being 35. It's fully warmed up by the way. Unless I go over 40 it takes a long time...

So I was gravity bleeding mine today for the first time and noticed that below the brake fluid cap there is only a small gap to suck the old fluid out of the reservoir so a turkey baster doesn't work for that. You basically have to get a syringe with a very small tube to suck the fluid out...

It appears that whoever owned this 4runner before didn't have a clue. It had to have been doing this for a long time.

So I put it all together and went for a test drive. All seems normal it was a mix of city 45 mph and highway 75 mph. For about 25 miles total. Anyway so I get home jack it up and it doesn't have play which is much better. I spin the wheel and it goes about 3 revolutions and stops slowly. I spin...

Well, I got off work and put the bearing halfway on I didn't really tighten it down. I just needed to see if I could get it to spin. At first I thought it was locked up but it spins now. My concern is it normal for the new bearing to be sorta hard to turn. Lets just say it doesn't keep spinning...

So I got the bearing and hub back from toyota this afternoon right as I was coming to work so I didn't have time to put it on yet. Again, I'm no mechanic but I know how to do small stuff. My question is the bearing and hub don't spin no matter how hard I try. It isn't attached to the spindle arm...
