Hey everyone, I'm going to replace my heater core this weekend and my AC compressor, dryer, and expansion valve. I found some good info on here on how to take my dash apart and get to the heater core and expansion valve, and I think the AC compressor and dryer should not be to bad but I have...

Heater core suggestions I have a lot of good info on this post and I am about to try and do this big job this Coming weekend. I have a new heater core. And a new A/C Kit that includes the compressor, dryer, and expansion valve and a bag of seals. My goal is to Replace the expansion valve, and...

hows napa's parts? Well the store manager at Oriley isn't budging. Said he will give me 2 of these $29 ones for free . Says they are OEM equals, though I call BS. Or discount off of the bosh ones but I still pay Over $100. Now that I see the upgrade I really want to do that. I might take the...

Orielys wont budge, time to go up the chain Talked to a manager. Say there guys didn't mess up my rotors. That they had to be warped before they turned them. All they will do is give me $30 credit towards the Bosh ones. And take an addition $5 off per rotor. Which comes out to me paying an...

Thanks everyone Thanks for all the input. After reading all the posts and talking to Les Schwab ( the ones that told me my brake pads where getting low) im going to call tomorrow and stand my ground. I think at the very least I get my $30 put towards the Bosh rotor. I buy one they buy one...

I have a 2 wheel drive 97 4runner v6 Sunday I was replacing my brake pads because they where just about to hit the warning tab. While they where out I took my rotors (Toyota Stock) to ORiley's auto parts to have they turned for $30. Now, prior to this I had no Problems with my brakes or any...

Diff leak I found some good info in replacing the seal. With 280,000 miles im thinking i will replace the bearings and the ABS gear. So far Everything from the local Toyota dealer is $192.51 for one side. I will have to do all the work myself. I work at a Aircraft facility so we have a press...

Oh Poop!! Just got home and my right rear wheel well is soaked with oil... Is it possable for the differancal to leak out the side? Its dry from the wheel well forward. What do i do??

from the back side Thats true but i think thats only to tighen them, i dont think you can release the plate that stops it from loosining from the back, ill give it a try though.

Rubbing noise So it been 2 months since i did my rear drums. When i drive and the radio is off i hear this cycling rubbing noise. At first i thought maybe my bearings where bad but I couldn't tell exactly where the noise was coming from. It only happens while moving . It doesn't seem to grind...

Good to go!!!! I bled the brakes several times and it made a big differance. With the Ebrake i found the auto adjustment gear was not extended enough. Rotating the tire backwards and pressing the brake like the manual said was not effective. And when i adjusted it from the back side of the...

It must be air! I opened the dust seal and put some lube on the piston and moved it back and forth. It must have let air into the system. That totaly makes sence, i didnt think air could get in that way. Would the ebrake be effected? -Todd

Same problem Im having the same problem. Changed the shoes and drum. Adjusted the gear from the back through the rubber hole. Ebrake will not stop tire no matter how i adjust it. And the first pump with the brakes goes to the floor. After pumping it 2 times it stops the tire right away with...
