Happy Monday everyone! You know what? In your previous post on this you wrote "The quest for a non-oil leaking 540 continues... " I read that as "The quest for a non-oil leaking S40 continues... " ( as I believe you had one in the past.) And I sat there looking at that picture t...

I had to re-attach the clamps for my power windows to my driver's window on my Toyota Sienna a year ago. I too wanted to figure out what to use to attach to glass. All the research I did pointed to 3M™ Windo-Weld™ Super Fast Urethane Part Number 08609. huh.. just realized there's no "w" at...

Along with the suggestion for liberal amounts of penetrating oil. I have come to favor a certain type of O2 sensor socket. o2.png The one on the left is much shorter and therefore I think is less prone to flexing open. With that said, the use of a hose clamp around the socket as mentioned above is a...

Nice! can't wait to see them. I won't miss out this time around.

Just ordered 2! Can't wait.
