What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

just keep pulling




try prying on the back side a little bit

 

Also flip the main section of the wiper away (up) from the windshield so the spring tension is off the bolt

 

They feel like they’re gonna break. I’m gonna assume they’ve never been removed. Thing a little shock therapy from a rubber mallet would help?

Pretty bad when you can’t get past step 1.

 

Which fumoto is best?

$37 F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

F103N? assuming I have skids that is, looks like the F103S would be best since its short but idk

 

Stupid idiot me. I got em.
Hint #1: Quit bein a little bitch.

 

Hate the feeling when you get a false start on a project. Was all set to do cruiser front brakes and found out I was missing a 54mm socket :/

 

Grinder with cutting wheel. Works every time.

 

For every mod we do there should be a grinder with a cutting disc by our side

 

That's a huge socket

 

Yeah it sets the preload for the hub bearings, big bearings equals huge nut haha

 

I just googled it. I figured it had to be that. No way there was a bolt that big on any passenger vehicle brakes haha

 

Can't change the rotor without it tho which is annoying.

 

That sucks. What year cruiser?

 

93

 

If I had read your profile haha

Looking at trying to track a Hundy down, but they are rare

 

I fell in love with the 80s 1990s charm and solid axles but it has maintenance items that require their own degrees haha

 

Got my shackle receiver and locking pin from Amazon today, kind of looks like those 'truck nuts' from afar though...not sure how I feel about that

 

I only run my Warn receiver shackle when I offroad. Otherwise it looks a bit weird

 

If you don't need a nipple to put a drain hose on go with the f103. If you do need a hose get the f103s

 

yeah I'm thinking I'll pull the D-ring off and keep it in the cab unless I'm on a trail, don't want someone to steal it either
