I’d go OEM for anything critical or time consuming.

When I flush brake fluid, I take a sample at the beginning (#1 in photo), at the end (#2 in photo), and new fluid right out of the bottle (#3). This way I can see when the new fluid is through the lines. I can never get it as clear as the new no matter how much I run through. Anyway, this is...

How many of those 100 were done in your garage vs. out in the bush?

I used windshield wiper rubber.

Fix the originals.....the faulty part inside the actuator is all that will ever fail. Once fixed they are as good as a new one. It’s a small project but worth the time. I’ve posted a few threads on this as well.

I was intimidated by it the first time, but after that I figured it out. Patience and enough workspace, combined with taking photos along the way makes it manageable.

I need to replace my high pressure flex hose as well......

In Michigan too, everyone is cranking out masks. Sewing.....3D printing......even saw one with an insert that you could place your own filter material into. I believe HEPA and some higher rated furnace filters are virus rated.

Toasty lives.

Your project is keeping me sane during this insane time. Keep it coming! Also I’m impressed with the work you are cranking out of what looks like a relatively tight space. Also, need a photo of the “shed”.

If you can’t poke a screwdriver through it, it isn’t rust.

Anyone else getting recall notices? Airbag recall, Takata. They finally got me. Somehow I am enjoying the idea of bringing my 22 year old Montero into the dealer for some free service.

I’d only add that they’re cheap to ship so if you could get a better price far away, do it.

For another $1,000 or so you could get the whole motor rebuilt.....that’s with you pulling it and putting it back in.

Year?

I’d guess that many shops could do it, but I had it done at the dealer and I gave them the procedure reference from the FSM. I probably have a few threads on here talking about this, do a search. The throttle body has a few very small diameter passages that need to be cleaned, not just the main...

You are correct about the idle relearn procedure, it requires a scan tool capability that most people don’t own. You can get it close without doing this, but probably never perfect like when it was new. I rebuilt my throttle body a few years ago and when I had everything all back together, my...

What do you mean when you say you reset the computer idle?

With a little searching and a couple phone calls you should be able to find someone who will make some for you. In my town there is a company that services refer units for semi trucks, they make any kind of automotive hose you want and they aren’t expensive. Look for something like that. Anybody...

Did you disconnect all the light assemblies or just the one that wasn’t working?
