    Good morning CT.

    Dare to say, perfect weather this week.

    Picked up some long metric wrenches from HF yesterday. Had to drive up to Berlin, CT because no store close to me had them.

    It was a last minute decision as the two stores by my house didn't have the wrenches in stock.

    Good morning.

    Update on tracking. Everything should be here by Wednesday except for one part, that will be here on Friday.

    Itching to get my calipers replaced.

    Used the long wrenches yesterday. Rear main seal on a 2017 RX350. The extra leverage comes in handy.

    Good morning CT.

    Need to bleed the brakes, slightly soft pedal. I'll wait until my new brake pads show up. Possibly today.

    My Bilstein 6112s have some leaking going on . Installed 2017 . Looks like there is a limited lifetime warranty but they have to shipped back to place of purchase :notsure:
    Do have any experience with this Harry ?

    None. I suggest contacting the place where you bought them, if possible.
