    rear brake caliper stripped threads

    Do you know what kit that would specifically? I searched on Amazon and only found a kit for spark plugs which looks like it has some cutton tool as part of it. When I searched YouTube it seemed like what I really want is a kit that required me to drill things out specifically with a twist...

    rear brake caliper stripped threads

    I wasn't clear it's the caliper knuckle that 'floats' on the slide pins, the chunk of steel that contains the piston. I don't actually know what it's called, I could be using the wrong name. The pin is pretty bad, the thread in the knuckle looks bad too but I haven't got a tap to clean it out...

    rear brake caliper stripped threads

    2015 4runner stripped (rear) caliper pin Hi! I just stripped a caliper pin thread (cheap torque wrench or i'm an idiot or both, unclear how) I checked the pin, the thread looks bad ... the knuckle might be as well, it looks toast but part of me is hoping that's the threads from the pin...

    LED daytime running lights?

    thanks for the information in a couple of weeks (busy now) i'll probably look for 'HB3' sockets and look at the waveform (presumable it's just 50% duty cycle PWM at a few kHz); maybe someone has done this, i googled and didn't find much i'm guessing it should be possible to detect DRL mode...

    LED daytime running lights?

    Can't find DRL compatible lights I have a 2015 (rth gen) 4r ltd and the DRL are just the high-beams driven at a lower level. If I try the various HB3 LED kids out there I get pulsing or flickering. Given the number of vehicles which do this I'm wondering why the drivers don't accommodate...

    Best tires for snow and ice

    rim and tire recommendation Hi there! I have a 2015 Limited with 20" rims. It comes with 245/60R20 (Yokohama Geolandar G96B I think). 31.6" OD. When I check under the car the spare is pretty tight so I'm probably limited to 31.6ish tires not larger. I'm thinking for the winder i might want...

    5th Gen HID / Projector retrofit installation (pics).

    Has anyone tried out the new LED Headlights??

    Do these work on 5th gen (2015) vehicles? What about HID vs LEDs? I assume with HID it's a full kit to install (how hard is this?) vs LED where it's just bulbs in existing enclosure?
