Broooooooo Keep up the awesome videos!!!!@!@!@!@!@!@ Love the synth elevator music love this wire clamp hose clamp clamp thing. I had my hoses and heater t's sitting in my hand as i assemble them to throw on the lex.
Thank you for this as I am wanting to do some maintenance myself on these types of repairs and leave the bigger stuff to the dealer/ shade tree mechanic. I’m still looking to find someone to replace my timing belt/pump along with fan clutch making a noise.
Good to hear. These are amazing machines. I haven’t done any of the major stuff to this unit. The previous owner had done timing belt/ water pump just before i bought it. I did fix my rattling speakers (see my other videos) and it made a world of difference. Next thing on my agenda is front AHC accumulators. Front is feeling really springy.
I thought about it. Couldn’t decide if i wanted to go brass or stainless steel. If brass is so superior, i wonder why Toyota didn’t use it to begin with? The cost savings couldn’t be that much. Ultimately just bought the original plastic. Did you go with brass?
if you use the brass t's then you cant use the factory constant grip hose clamps which are far superior to the screw type, when switching out tees get new clamps and youll be good for about 15 years or 200k miles
@@budgetprojectsbydavid5263 the brass tees are ribbed where as the factory originals have one prominent defined ridge thats at a 90 degree angle. the factory style clamp on a factory style tee has a more positive uniform grip than if it was on a ribbed brass tee. constant pressure clamps are cool because as the hose expands and contracts the clamp does too and in the long term as the hose shrinks then the clamp gets tighter to compensate.
You can source stainless tees of the original, non-barbed variety so you can use the stock clamps. That’s definitely the way to go, IMO. Also worth checking the condition of the hoses while your Bach there. Of the six hoses, the longest might be eight inches so super easy to cut and install news ones if you feel the need. Happy wrenching!
Great video. My wife just paid 220 bucks for this service. I’ll do my own on my LX with 300k on it.

Good video. Thanks. About how much fluid would you say came out? I noticed you didn’t top off your coolant at all.
Thanks. Very minimal amount was lost. My reservoir had plenty of fluid. I guess i figured that the any fluid lost would be pulled from there.
Awesome Impressive great Job you make it look so easy on my do list !
Thank you! It’s always fun to have an excuse to buy a new tool!
Are these T,s for the rear heater?
My landcruiser does not have any T,s.
That is correct. Even though most people have the rear heat standard, some 100 series LCs did not have rear heat, such as those shipped to Hawaii.

@@budgetprojectsbydavid5263 I’ll check out the rattling speaker video. Mine too do this.
Why didn't you just order a aftermarket brass T on amazon and never have to change it again?

Good info! Makes me wish i would have changed out my clamps. Why do the constant grip clamps not work with the brass tees?
