Did not think about Tim the Toolman videos, thanks. I know will be tight fit, I dread tight fits. Thanks again.

Hello knowledgeable folks. I am replacing the electric lock assembly on my 2002 because the door handle broke free and the metal part circled in photo broke off and I could not find specific part to replace. I am doing the whole deal. How difficult? And any tips? I have seen posts replacing the...

Thanks. Got it done with a new one. I figured I could pull it off and repair contacts and what not but after seeing the condition and with my parts in hand, my daily needed to get fixed quick. Bought what my budget could afford. Thanks for the reply ✌����

Bought a new starter, old one with 230k miles was shot Got a good look how starters work and what is involved. Returning contacts and plunger, and bought a new one. My 4Runner is my daily so the need to get running was needed quickly. Thank you for the replies. Peace, ✌

Good idea! Getting mine out was a great accomplishment, has reservations doing the job. Upon inspection the spindle deal had loose/bent washer holding bearings in. Tension was still there but looks like damage to that other than just replacing contacts and plunger thingy. Thanks for reply.

I hope this reply goes through with photo. Im not the best at formatting

Yes. I just did this today(edit currently doing this) and there should be an o-ring on the top half of the trans dipstick tube that slides into the lower.

Hello. I will get right to it. I pulled out my starter with the intention of replacing the contacts and plunger thingy. After removal, the piece that goes into the flywheel/trans(?) is loose, has bent washer(?) and visible bearings inside housing. Let me know if more photos are necessary. I...

It bugs because I knew they were wrong, so I will change them. Thanks man!

Thanks. I should have listened to myself when I did these two years ago!

Eff me! I knew this both times I changed them. I feel like and ass after all the cues that led me to believe my lower mpgs were some else. I checked wth AutoZome and other... I told them dual but they confirmed I was wrong. Thank you. I Will be fixing this on Saturday.

You know, I told them that and they (dudes at AutoZone) said they are thr same, blah blah blah and I installed the same ones. I told them but no, they are the parts people and I am just some schlub, what do I know??. F*** me. That's why my mpg went down last time changed them. Hell, even a 20...

I forgot to add she has just over 202k miles. Anything that I should look for with the use of this used plugs? Thanks!

Photo is in order from the front of the vehicle. Is there any concern? Any issues with the corrosion? These plugs have been in for two years give or take a few months.

EDIT** FIXED** Howdy again. 2002 4x4 with stock everything. I am replacing my front shocks with the Bilstein 4600 and have a problem with the spring seating properly to the bottom mount/plate. Upon releasing tension on spring compressor (McFadden? from O'Reilly's), the spring moves out of...
