    DIY: Replace Servo Sub-Assy

    This is really awesome and well documented. So how long should this really take us if we do on our own with all the correct tools you mentioned and new screws? I just called our local Toyota dealer and with me having part they want $700 do do this repair? Said something about removing dash and...

    Deer verses 4Runner – 4Runner wins…………..sort of

    Deer hit me. Sorry to see this happen, but it could have been worse. This happened to me about 3 1/2 weeks ago. Darn deer jumped out from behind a wood fence and I had no time to react. Was done in like 2 seconds. Deer was dead and $1800 (including rental car for a week) later I had a new...

    Brake Pedal Click

    It does not do it all the time and other than that it's functioning normal and brake fluid always changed at normal intervals. It's just a slight click or little bump when releasing the pedal almost to the end. There is always a little play in the brake pedal so you're not one of those annoying...

    Servo sub-assy, damper replacement?

    Thank you. This helps and know what to be prepared for. I'm wondering if I buy the part and take glove box out, etc. what Toyota would charge to repair? Our time is worth something in this busy world. Sounds like most of the labor would be replacing the motor and not taking the upper/lower blove...

    Servo sub-assy, damper replacement?

    Thank you. I've already replaced the one to the right of glove box. That was for the recycled vs fresh air. This one I'm assuming is to the left of glove box, possibly behind the vent knob controls. I think I might be able to access once glove box is removed (lower and upper portions). I'll buy...

    Servo sub-assy, damper replacement?

    I hope someone responds because it's annoying and only does it in the summer. Odd, I know, but it's only in the summer when vehicle is hot. When it cools down with AC the noise is less and may even stop by rotating from vent to defrost, etc. Keep in mind though there are same part numbers with...

    Servo sub-assy, damper replacement?

    Good morning. I need to replace the damper that controls the selection on where you would like the air to flow from (vents, defrost, etc). Mine is starting to click when on the dash vents only. Toyota wants $212.00 for this part, but online is 1/2 that cost for the exact part. What a joke when...

    Changing front brakes:

    I was thinking the same thing but may scuff up the rotors to knock off any glaze or anything from the existing EBC 7000 Green Stuff pads. As long as rotors are within spec I'm keeping the same Toyota rotors on, if not I'll buy new rotors and maybe new pad set like last time. Existing EBC...

    Changing front brakes:

    Just to confirm. I can use the pads I used to have that are only 25% worn on the existing Toyota rotors? They're in great shape. No pitting, warp, groves, etc. I've just always heard stories about matching the sets together and lightly shaving rotors and scuffing pads.

    Front brake change

    I need to change my EBC 7000 series Green Stuff pads out soon, however Toyota rotors are still very good and no pulsing or vibration when braking. I have an old EBC 7000 series Green Stuff pad set that are about 25% worn I took off when putting new Toyota rotors on (I wanted new rotors and pads...

    Parts delay on hub and bearing assembly?

    Thank you. Marion reached out to me today via text and said he usually overpacks them but if no play or noise you should be okay. I will test tomorrow once this hurricane passes us in NC. I cleaned off and will see what happens. Thanks for letting me know.
