Are you in Pakistan or Georgia?

Just do it yourself. If you dont have some kind of manual then ------- get one asap.

Re: 98 Toyota 4runner help! 56k beware
 

I do have the manual that came with the jeep but the info provided is limited.

Yes im currently in GA.

Ill just change the sparks because thats all I can do with my limited hands on experience. I picked up a repair and maintenance manual for the 85-90 chryslers mini vans and im assuming most of the things are universal for most motor vehicles.

DIYnetowork sucks balls and was wondering if any of you know a similar website with videos on how to do these type of maintenance procedures?

holy ----.....damn dude give someone your keys and back away from your car and make sure there is a very steep cliff right behind you. Stick to Gran Turismo. You take the cake though with that line. :3

Good thing he has the four cam v6, plugs on the older 3vze 3.0 were a bitch because they were down near the exhaust manifold in that cramped engine bay. In the T100 chassis they were cake though.


But in all respects follow my steps ---- head

Pull the wires off of the spark plugs, don't pinch or anything, just pull them off. Get a spark plug socket and extension and take them out. If all you have is a socket set, unscrew the plugs first, then use a piece of hose about the size of the terminal on the plug to pull it out. Use said hose to start the plug also.

If you want to change the brake fluid, changing just the fluid in the cylinder isn't good enough. You need to bleed the entire lines. Open the bleeder screws and pump the old fluid out then replace it.

AHHHHH Don't you dare call it a Jeep. :-X It's insulting to Toyota's! >:(

E-Bola thanks a ton!!

I took my Toyota to a garage today (Family friend owns it) and the owner said I can stop by tomorrow morning to work on it. He said he will teach me the basics and that I can use all his tools and ---- :).

He showed me his toolboxes, which were huge, and said that there are about 100k worth of tools in them. He is a certified BMW, MERC mechanic.

Time to get my hands dirty :y

Gravity bleed owns.

Crack all bleeders open, and don't let the fluid level in the master cyl. reservoir get empty.

P.S. Bubble gum+socket = poor man's spark plug socket (honestly, just buy one though. They're like $2)
