Yeah, I wish my street was mellower because it would certainly make filming videos easier. We are interrupted all the time while filming especially from the people who have loud exhaust systems.

Before I did my LBJ replacement I watched your video and you made it look so easy with OTC kit. So I bought that kit (watched few times the part you showed the kit number). Then LBJ job was so easy indeed. Thank you Timmy for your videos, advices and for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You're welcome and glad you like the stache. Happy Wrenching Scott!

Thanks John and you're very welcome. The right tools for the job makes a big difference and I've had good luck with the OTC tools I've purchased. I was steered to the OTC brand based off the positive reviews they get online. As time went on and I needed different tools, I noticed OTC made a lot of the tools I was looking for and they were at a price point that I could afford. So, I kept buying the OTC brand and I'm happy I did.

I bought the front end kit after watching your lower ball joint video. Hope to replace those soon - you made it look easy :)

I used the little puller on the front end kit to pull the rear window wiper arm off as it was corroded to the shaft and did not want to ruin the gear box. I backed the nut off to where it was flush with the end of the shaft so I would not ruin the threads . Came off with a pop, like the cars out front..... On a side note, I replaced a cracked flex plate, it had 3" left. lol... The inaudible noise it was making as it was slowly self destructing must have been messing with the knock sensor. It ran so much better after the flex plate was replaced. Someone had made a YT vid titled "You think you have a rod knock on your 3.4, it could be a cracking flex plate" sounded just like mine. Glad it was the flex plate and not a rod knock.

Hey Tim i would love it if you could give me some recommendation on a jack and jack stand for a 3 inch lifted 4runner on 33 inch tires. I recently bought it and i dont have a jack that can lift it fully to get the tire off the ground so i can do maintenance.

@TimmyTheToolman

4 жыл бұрын

For jack stands, these 6 Ton Jack Stands amzn.to/2MM91w6 are just like the AC Delco ones I own and they get great reviews. I'd pick up a set of these. As for a hydraulic floor jack, Harbor Freight makes some nice and affordable ones. This is a good one: www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-professional-rapid-pump-floor-jack-black-64780.html You have to also choose the right place to lift the vehicle. Trying to lift from the frame rails that run from the front to the rear isn't the right spot. You can lift the whole front end via the cross member that the steering rack bolts to. You can lift the individual front sides from the cross member lifts point your operator's manual suggests. For the rear, you can lift of the whole rear end by getting under the center of the rear axle.

What is a good tool to remove and install the crankshaft pulley on a 3VZ engine? Thanks!

This OTC puller works well for the 5VZ engine and I assume it will work for the 3VZ. *OTC 4518 Puller Set amzn.to/2J68BOT The crankshaft pulley has threaded holes on it. I'm guessing they will be the same on your pulley. The size is M8 x 1.25. You use (2) bolts that size and thread pitch around 100mm long.

From what I gather, this is not a part that goes bad. I've never heard on a Toyota forum someone talking about their igniter going bad.

Toyota part number for OTC Belt Tension Gauge is 09216-00021. Also on Toyota Tech page (techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/staticcontent/en/techinfo/html/prelogin/prelogin.sst.html ) states, “ Purchase Toyota and Lexus Special Service Tools directly from Bosch/OTC.” With that being said, I do not believe Tim is mistaken.
