chazglenn3 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Hello all; Does anyone know where I can get a set of tools for the trunk of my 1993 LS400? I looked on eBay, but the kits there are different from what I can tell...(no flashlight). I am afraid to think what the dealer would ask for them. Thanks. Charles
UCF3 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Why don't you find out what tools were included with the originally part of the tool-kit, and buy them from Sears or Matco? Mine was missing a bunch of them, and that's what I did, especially since Lexus never includes expensive tools.
chazglenn3 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 That's a good idea, UCF! Does anyone have a list of the tools that were originally included with a '93 LS? The only thing in the tool holder is the wheel lock key :(
fatman Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Be glad you have that ! My 92 Didn't had to have the locking nuts broke off, and had to by a new set with key from the Mafia for close to $50.00
chips229 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I was very lucky when i bought my Ls400,everything was in the car...my car is a series 1....a 1991 uk car. Just been over and had a look in the boot at the tools and they are as follows.. a metal wheel stop......for when jacking up the car a lexus screwdriver 2 spanners..one is 12 and 14mm each end and the other is 8 and 10mm a wheel brace for undoing the wheel nuts and a lexus touch Hope thats of some help to you I was also lucky to still find the Lexus CD :D Good luck with sourcing the tools
99lsguy Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Yes.......most important is to have a small flat screwdriver, small piston jack, a lug nut key, correct socket for the lug nuts (19-21mm) and a 3/8" torque wrench (10-75 ft lbs.) to match sockets. Torque is 79 ft. lbs so max out the wrench and add another 1/8 turn....you're good to go! I have the original tool set in my 99, but always keep the torque wrench in the car for longish trips........
four door Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 chasglenn3 I have some extra Lexus tools in excellent condition. Pliars, screw driver with two attachments, two wrenches. Figure $15 shipped. You will still have to pick up a lug wrench, flash light and towel in wrapper, might want to check the salvage yards for the lug wrench. The flash light and towel will probably have to be bought from the dealer. Four Door.
