2007 Lexus GX470 Exhaust Gasket Removal

linktr.ee/madd...
In this video I go over the way I removed the exhaust gasket on the left hand side of this 2007 Lexus GX470. This procedure should be similar to of Lexus and Toyota vehicle from this era that have a V8.

Planning on this repair soon for my 07 GX470 but due to age and my being in there anyway, I’m replacing both exhaust manifolds and gaskets. Doing it while in the truck. I’ll have it tore down anyway doing wp and timing belt at the same time. Thanks for the video. It will come in handy. All I can suggest to everyone is be patient. That’s 15+ years of heat and rust to get through without breaking any bolts off. PATIENCE IS TOUR BEST FRIEND. 😁

Yeah good idea to replace the manifolds as well. And I agree, patience. These vehicles are so reliable that by the time they need fixing they've basically fused together into one piece.

My man you were put on this earth to do these jobs. Coolest cucumber on the planet.

[@aiyogarage]

Oh thank you so much! Just trying my best out here.

[@katemondragon04]

This could not have come out at a perfect time! Thank you so much I’ve been looking for a video so I can do it myself. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video!

[@aiyogarage]

Hey, I'm glad I could help. Hope the job goes well. Just be patient and make sure to have a mirror handy for finding some of those nuts and bolts.

​@@aiyogarageI own a 2006 Lexus LX470. I think I have issues with my exaust manifolds. The question now, is only the gasket bad or should I replace the whole set. MAHLE gasket set is about $60. The Lexus OE gasket set cost over $120. I only find the manifold set at Lexus dealer $700. Should I buy only the gasket? Thank you

[@aiyogarage]

@@rhoodj I would buy the manifold as well. I tried only doing the gasket to save this customer money, but it ended up needing the manifold as well. Thanks for watching I hope that helps.

[@aiyogarage]

Not a problem!

Man this is more relaxing than an ASMR video. I don't even have this car or this issue with my car. I'm just watching this and feeling relaxed as all get out

[@aiyogarage]

Well hey, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@7sunsetmaro7]

Great video man. I am probably going down this route as well. Tired of hearing the ticking sound.

[@3ksportsunlimitedllcbaseba136]

Thank you so much, I need to do my 2008 GX 470, great video

[@aiyogarage]

Thanks! Consider replacing the manifold as well

[@paulreed3770]

[@aiyogarage]

Thank you! Glad I could help out

[@azemnaji]

thx for sharing your knoladge...

[@aiyogarage]

You bet!

[@aldogaray1374]

Take the valve cover off it's day and night it' comes out super easy

[@aiyogarage]

Thanks for the tip!

[@aldogaray1374]

@aiyogarage no problem it makes way easier

[@itsdoncartagena6485]

Hey question how do I know or could i find out if its a manifold gasket leak or a manifold crack

[@aiyogarage]

You won’t know without inspecting it. It probably isn’t cracked, probably just warped. But I would recommend replacing it with the gasket. Hope that helps

[@rhoodj]

If you where close or in my area I would let you do mine in 2006 Lexus LX470

[@aiyogarage]

Yeah this job is kind of a pain in the butt. However, with a lot of patience it can be accomplished.

[@obedconcepcionjr]

Hello am going to do mine tomorrow getting a hard time to get the screw part number do anyone know will appreciate

[@aiyogarage]

Hey I can't find the part number I used in the video. I believe I got mine from auto zone. But it is a stud and nut style. If you look online you're see a kit that comes with springs; those are for the exhaust connections, not for the manifold. Hope that helps
