My 2001, V8 Tundra has over 600,000 miles and still runs like a champ every day.

I like when the creators are humble enough to admit defeat and take the car to another shop lol

I'm just here for a shameful plug.

If you're a fan of Canadian government, stay there!

I can sympathise with this so much, I just had the same issue with an mx5 ABS sensor - snapped bolt, snapped the extractor bit, snapped a carbide drill bit trying to drill it out... 5 minute job becomes a 5 day job...

whenever removing rusted frozen bolt, I like to apply some impact with a hammer and drift onto the head of the bolt. The impact down through the screw will fracture the adhesion and the screw will come out quite often without breaking.

And for a new one ... Toyota dealers want over $85,000.00 dollars American. "...Such a deal... "

I've got a 2009 Tundra CrewMax, same colour as yours. Just coming up on 200,000 kms and virtually no rust, thanks to it being a western Canada (BC) truck. I think the only thing that kills Toyotas is rust.

This is a nightmare that I experienced on my 07. Why did I foolishly think I had to change the trans filter I don't know. Half the bolts snapped off. I couldn't extract them. I ended up drilling up through the case and using bolts, lock washers and nuts to seal the pan. Lesson is: DON'T REMOVE THE PAN!!!

10mm? Tiny bolts and unfortunate.

I did a complete transmission fluid/filter/gasket change and had no issues. I was worried but nothing broke and I even reused the bolts. I’m clearly blessed after watching this video! My 2007 Tundra 5.7 is also from Canada (Ontario) with 460k and was never rust proofed before me owning it.

You guys might want to check out Corrosion-X to both get the bolts to break loose and also to treat the entire underneath so it doesn't rust in the future. They have an HD formula that is useful in harsh environments (it's designed to corrosion-proof US Navy fighter aircraft at sea)

Mechanic here from Quebec dealing with this everyday. Gonna give you 2-3 tricks to help you in the future.

Who doesn't love a good extraction. Just did a 2014 accord sway bar bushing bolt. Drilled it through the frame to the underside and tapped it the same way. We do what we gotta do in the rust belt.

Had that same style oil plug on my front dif fill on my 4 runner strip out. I always weld nuts onto stripped, broken, and rounded off fasteners. When that fill plug stripped that's what you needed . On the transmission pan bolts just dropping a nut over the end of the bolt and filling the nut with weld. Wait til it's not glowing red then back it out.

Sometimes being a car guy means having great friends who can bail you out when you get in over your head. Great seeing the vlog by Vinh!

This is why I love speed academy, watching these videos reminds me of why I hate cars but love cars. You guys have mountains of patience! Keep t it up man

I feel your pain. I am going through a similar issue replacing the evap vent valve on my G35 coupe. I have to drop the charcoal canister, but every stud and bolt is snapping.

You guys are my absolute favorite! Keep up all the good work!
