12:56 Rule of thumb. If a torque wrench isn't available, finger-tighten the lug nuts. Then, using a socket wrench and extension bar, tighten the lug nuts 1/4-1/2 turn.

Very clear, just changed, thx

Perfect, thanks

Before you go purchasing a new cartridge try to clean and lubricate the old one. Take out the cartridge as he shows. On the side opposite from the metal shaft there are two plastic tabs that are holding the back plate on. You can see where they latch on the sides. Gently push in and up on the tabs through the slots in the side to dislodge them. Be careful to get this apart do that you know how it goes back together. You must orient the plates correctly to have it work again. Remove the plastic back plate noting the orientation. It has three tabs around the outside where it goes into the housing. Then remove the top ceramic plate. Be careful. The ceramic is brittle and a small chip or scratch will cause leaks. Then remove the bottom ceramic plate carefully. Note how this is oriented. There are three small nibs that stick out to orient it to the back plate. Then clean the ceramic plates with alcohol and remove any debris. Many times small bits of sand or debris can get in the plates and cause leaks. Get it all cleaned out and stack the plates back into the housing in the proper orientations and snap the plastic back plate in place. You can also use silicone grease to lubricate the handle where the metal roll pins touch the housing in the slots. Reassemble and see how it works. Hopefully you again have a working faucet without having to spend $25 to replace a perfectly good cartridge.

Can I replace this exact thermostat with a google nest thermostat?

Thanks for sharing this. I just had to do this on a Scion tc after replacing the water pump (which includes removing the alternator, thus disconnecting battery during the job). After starting the vehicle, it started idling correctly. I then turned on AC. Idle dropped then recovered after several seconds. I repeated this with car in neutral (AC on, AC off) and in Drive (AC on/off). I had to repeat these steps a couple times to establish proper idle RPM. So if you're doing it, after establishing proper idle as shown above, continue the process with AC on/off.

just change the gear very easy fix

Great video

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

4 hours no work in n.c.. wait til tomorrow and then take to kohl's for return to the river.

What an anoying problem

Great video! Was able to clean my maf but not the throttle body... the screw clamp on my toyota is rusted stuck.

Good video on the procedures. Only I disagree for not removing the throttle completely to properly clean the other side which is the main reason to clean the throttle which will make a huge difference on the vehicles performance. You can leave the 2 hoses on for this process. Good job anyways to pass on your knowledge to the public 👍

Great video but I would definitely recommend changing the oil immediately after filling the cylinders. Remember, your oil control rings do well to seal the cylinders up, but theyre not a perfect seal. That thin cleaner will leak past the rings into the oil pan and thin out/contaminate your oil. Changing before start up will prevent that oil from ciculating around the engine

Thanks for clear explanation I was able to turn on the water heater

thanks very useful video & clear ❤

My pulley tensioner don’t want to loosen the belt for anything any suggestions?

use 7/8 socket next time

great video although i really dont like how you just leave the valve cover off while removing everything. you risk getting debris and stuff in the engine. the valve cover should be the last thing you remove and the first thing you put back on.

can i turn off the light? i got one today but its good if i can turn off during the night :P

I paid 5100 for a2004 awd 104xxx miles on it feel like I over paid lol

Great Video! Should you disconnect the battery first?

Thank you! This helped a ton. Same model as well

Great instructions. Good detail and pointing out the potential problems. Thank you so much!!!

On a Lexus gs300 is it better to use full synthetic or is it fine to use without synthetic???

The owner manual is sacred. Don’t listen to street corner mechanics who say it’s ok to put other numbers. You will destroy your engine.

We're you able to see into the boot? Something in my boot is jamming the lock

For a 2019 Camry Hybrid LE, is the PCV Valve a 1 hour job or a 4 hour job? My dealership said that for some cars, it is 30 minutes to an hour, and for other cars, it is a 4 hour job.

I've cleaned one before for my xterra. Looks the same. I got a small glass jar and submerged the pcv in the cleaner. Came back the next day when it evaporated, sprayed it off once more, let it dry, and then installed it.

How to remove the roof rack cover. Mine paint is all peel off. I tried but can't remove that rear rack cover.

How to remove that cup holder tray and side box after removing the knob. I want to paint that three cover in silver

I did that for 4 door switch covers and this two also. But not able to remove the gear knob to paint that covers too. You know how to remove the knob for gear lever

What is the issue really

Best practice is to remove one wire at a time and put it in the new connector body in the same place. I had to do this with an ECM connector in my IS F when the connector lock broke while performing regular maintenance. There were more than 40 wires in that connector. There would have been no reasonable hope of removing them all and then putting them in the right place in the new connector without making a mistake. All my Toyota/Lexus vehicles are old now and replacing connectors has become a "normal" thing. I have a similar video on my channel with the details of the dimensions to make a pin extraction tool per Toyota's instructions. Small screwdrivers might be OK, but once you make the pin tool, you'll never go back.

What a pain in the ass

Great video very educational 💯💯

Just when I think you are done *remove 4 screws

Very good video. The right side is the passenger side on all N. American vehicles. It is determined via sitting in the car looking forward for all vehicles around the world. So that is not the left side of the vehicle.

Very good video buddy. Helped out a lot. Thanks.

Why the Toyota engineers placed that valve in such idiotic place???? Freaking stupid.

GS350 engines have a different system than the Euro Direct injections which suffer bad carbon buildup. So while it may happen it is not very prevalent. " It not common on the 2GR-FSE. Lexus added port injection on the 2GR-FSE. It has the best of both worlds. Direct Injection into the cylinder and Port injection in the intake stream. That will wash off the carbon buildup on the back side of the valve. The 3GR-FSE and the 4GR-FSE only have direct injection".

These tower fans are basically the same as they were 30+ years ago. I know this because I just took apart one that I remember buying in 1994 lol, it needed a real good clean. Basically identical to this one. Those bearings at the top and bottom holding the shaft needed some oil, it's working great and very quiet.

I let a friend borrow mine and now it won’t shutdown when on the STOP position. I have to turn off the gas and wait for it to die. I see the ground from the recoil cover is disconnected. I tried looking for the parts diagram, but I didn’t find anything on that ground wire. Please help.
