Some of the shit we make











Work is slow atm; literally just walked around with the hose hitting the floor with compressed air to clean it out

 

Oh my feels

 

Huh...

*looks back fondly at 94 econoline with I6 300. Interior dash almost exactly same level of tornapartness

 

I wish

 

Sus

 

Salvage title I bet

 

@01x4 This Woolly Bear already sold. I'm starting to like the idea of a camper trailer.

How tf do i get this caliper bolt out with this design Toyota

 

Idk why I always forget about those, be a good start to a hunting truck though.

be better if it was white

 

looks like you gotta disconnect the brake line.. which means bleeding the brakes too

 

Loosen the hard line and move it

 

Is there enough room against the rotor (without the pad) to pull the caliper back as you loosen?

 

It’s only 4Runners are the only ones that come in the shop with head gasket issues. Never had a 2nd gen taco in the shop with the issue.



the perches are more of an issue. Headgasket is rarer. And if it does fail you need an engine 60% of the time because it’s corroded aluminum on the head or block (well on the 4Runners)

 

That works because they're still on the truck

 

What about tundras... My neighbors 4.0 06 tundra drinks a lil bit of coolant

 

Remove the bottom bolt and rotate the caliper

 

Got it off now these bois are in my way but hard to break loose with free floating rotor... Hmmm

 

M18 to the rescue

 

Flat head screw drive up the middle of the rotor or put 2 lug nuts back on and use a bar of some kind to keep it from spinning.

don’t wanna replace the lugs

 

The Ryobi isnt breaking them loose hmmm
