Good point. I usually buy cheap stuff so I didn't think about warranty for such a high end kit. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

If you don't have calipers, put a bearing between two flat surfaces and just measure the gap with a tape or ruler. Please excuse the crudity of this model. I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Second this, easily purchased in quantity, just measure one and find a bag of 50 or 100. Even Amazon has 'em, and if you have Prime you can have, say, a bag of 144 x 1/4" by Saturday for about $7 shipped if you order tomorrow. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I thought maybe. From the install process clearance does not seem critical, ring just keeps the cap and bearings from flying away. Appreciate it! Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Searched in vain for one of these... Moog u-joint snap ring that got away from me. I was wearing headphones and didn't get them out in time, so I didn't get any clues about where in the clutter it landed. [emoji16] I've got some of the old ones from the original u-joints that are good on...

I looked for the one of these u-joint snap rings that flew into the air and landed I didn't see where. Had headphones in, and didn't get them out in time to get a bearing. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

No problem with led on mine. Edit: Sorry my remote says Liftmaster, but I just realized that mine's a different model, if that makes a difference. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Re: What did you do "IN" your garage today? Found hardware and glue enough to patch up from dumping my bike off the side stand in my driveway. Broken turn signal and shift lever. Bruised knee and pride. Oddly, the hardest part was finding all the pieces of the exploded turn signal...

Finally got the rest of the old gasket cleaned off the block and put the new rear main seal and oil pan gasket in my FJ80. This is still a side trip from a transmission rebuild in progress. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

+1 for tempered hardboard and a lip on your front edge to make it "drop in" replaceable. 1/8 would do fine, but I find 1/4 to be a bit more stable and easier to work with. I like hardboard's surface quality (durable but won't hurt soft metal parts, not slippery, very flat, cleans easy...

Very cool, thanks for that! I love my Land Cruiser for its reliability and native capability off road, but I find I like it even more as I wrench deeper into the details and engineering of it. Fault tolerant, sensible, immensely fixable. The mx-5 driving experience is legend, but you've the...

Ezriderga, I'm curious and possible you've posted about it before, so sorry if this is a repeat. In what way does this one stand out to you? Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Interesting, thanks. Confirmation that Rigid and Workshop vacs probably do roll off the same assembly line. And especially interesting that I get the same sense of no-fuss no-glitz reliability from all the various Bosch lines I've used. Like a premium brand that charges mainly for the extra...

Re: What did you do "IN" your garage today? Yeah, Bob, I'd certainly consider something like that for next time, appreciate the tip. Possible I have some friends who would pitch in, too. Heck, do they make a bead breaker attachment? I laughed at the body armor comment, because, no...

New struts, shocks (both KYB), and OEM sway bar links on the grocery getter ('07 Honda Pilot). Those strut spring compressors from AZ worked fine, but I was so paranoid the whole time I think I'll pay a shop to swap the springs over or buy quick struts next time. Sheesh. I'm probably paranoid...

Last night I finished up cleaning the ancient cork gasket off my oil pan. Quickly gave up on careful scraping and went with drill/wire brush and repaint the mating surface. This is for a 1991 (FJ80) Land Cruiser. The oil pan gasket is a side trip from a rear main seal replacement. The rear...

Genius! Thanks! EDIT: Yikes, it looked like this was a response to fall/injury post from Ggg just above, but I meant to respond to a earlier post about using free HFT magnet strips to mount DIY racks & shelves to metal cabinets. Messed up the quote bit using mobile. Sorry about that! And...

Love this type project, we'll done, too! Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Tough job pulling the oil pan off my FJ80 Land Cruiser. That cork gasket is 26 years old, so it put up a fight. Some scraping and cleaning, a new rear main seal, then it'll go back together. Ordered some Fel-pro 'snap ups', we'll see how they do. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

It's a Toyota a440f from a 1991 FJ80 Land Cruiser. All hydraulic. And a beast. I fried the 3rd/reverse clutch from letting the kick down cable stay too loose for too long. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk
