Thank you

Thanks for sharing this!!

You did good kid, you did good. Thank you for the video very useful and start to the point.

After seeing this explanation I realize that it is a buttload of work. You brought up the idea of cutting the wires. Actually that’s the approach I’m taking and snipping near the sensors under the body. That should eliminate the ridiculously time consuming seats and carpeting labor!

Thanks for this. I started pulling up the carpet and could feel what I thought must be it, but I am not going to be able to cut it, I will have to carefully remove it.

These cars are some of the worst I have ever encountered. Knock sensors and starter, under the intake manifold. O2 sensors, no connection from under the car instead they are in the center console. Will absolutely never own another Lexus. No amount of luxury or performance makes up for the horrid engineering that went into these vehicles.

I really appreciate this. So on the three mounting bolts - I got the first one in front off (nut) no problem. Got one of the two in back also. But the second one in back is seized on. Despite being perfectly square with breaker bar and 14mm 6 point impact socket - no joy. Used impact and its so seized the bolt is fully routed off. Going to use heat and Irwin bolt extractors in a couple of days after I get my sanity back... BUT my question is.... how do I find a new bolt to replace old one once I get this off? Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

You forgot to show where the other 2 bolts are…

Great video very helpful

Mine is leaking from the lines I think. Could it really be the pump that is bad or they are both bad? Car is 2002 with 207k miles

I really like your video because you helping people or teach them how to fix their own car very very nice of you. Thank you for that so much ! do you think you can do video on how to replace AC compressor and replace a bag on dryer near the condenser.

I am having trouble putting the power steering pulley back in place. How did you get it back in place ?

ありがとうございました。

Hey John, Love your vids....Not sure how you do it yet. If you could title them again and put them in order. Titles and order is confusing! it starts with you underneath the car. them goes to squeaky idler. not sure which you did first ... this one is titled: GOPRO139?? nothing about power steering pump, LOL! found by searching your name. Thanks again...all the best!

Great video....constructive crit....the long 'stud' is not a 'bolt'...and you use a 'nut' to secure it . And I believe you need 2 'bolts' for the other 2 mounting holes. You didn't show them. you did make me realize I need my forklift and extra large floor jacks to pull this off...for a friends Lexus...keep filming! thank you it helped. Cheers!

That cant be right. No way would you get your car back after the new 02 sensors fitted like that. No way on earth.

Lexus actually thought that was best place for that sensor. No way. No way.

Thanks!

Great instruction. I like the way you cut the carpet.

any chance you have a video or can show us how to replace the trunk struts? Seems hard to find a good DIY video on that!

Were is the power steering pressure censer

Hey John, Just bought a 2002 SC 430 that has a battery drain issue. I read this is common and I wont be using this every day, so I may need a battery charger but that seems like a PITA. Any suggestions?

I disagree. The oil pan on my 2003 GS 430 is impossible to replace at home. Even my Mechanic said you have to literally tilt the engine up to make room to remove those bolts on the front. It’s not easy at all. He doesn’t recommend replacing it if it’s just a small leak.

I have a SC 430 2002 with 179,000 miles and I’m having problems P1349, PO 420, and P1330! GREAT VIDEO!

hey brother nice video, I am about to buy one of these with 200k what is a good price to pay? Also what things should I look for in terms of wear and tear

Kick ass video!!

My LS430 is leaking steering fluid. Don't have a lift but, I will get her up high enough with jackstands. Thanks for sharing 👍👑

Can you add p/s fluid with no reservoir?

The idler you are replacing should have been replaced at the last timing belt change... And also with EVERY timing belt change actually.

I want this car so bad

This was very helpful. I have a 2007 SC430. I removed the radiator fan housing and the power steering pump pulley to provide clearance and access to the alternator. Then I could remove the alternator from under the hood. To remove the alternator it took 2 hrs figuring out everything. It took less then 1 hr to put it back in. Not a hard job once you figure out how to take apart the puzzle and put it back together.

Great video buddy
