Hi Steve, I have a 97 LS 400 so it's similar to yours. I've finally got the two 14mm bolts removed but still couldn't remove the starter. I've looked at the new starter & it's only attached via the 2 bolts so what the heck? Was your popped right out? Please advise. Thanks, John

Need Help Finding Rod And Main Bearings 98 Ls 400
steve2006 replied to Harbison's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
Why are you replacing a single con rod ? Price from Lexus (probably the only place to buy one) works out around $200.00 including the shell bearings. Part number 13201-50030 -
There should be a tutorial on www.lexls.com for the caps and rotor replacement.

Minimum To Remove To Inspect Timing Belt ('99 Ls400)
steve2006 replied to dthouston's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
At least one of the top timing covers needs to come off to see any of the belt,sounds like one of your camshaft oil seals has failed,best to replace sooner rather than later. The tutorial below will help. http://www.shastaanesthesia.com/Lexus/Page1.html -
A single cylinder misfire is unusual as each distributor feeds 4 cylinders (2 on each bank). One cylinder down wouldn't cause extremely rough idling. I would check both coils as these are known for failure especially the driver's side one.

How To Change Front Passenger Caliper Bottom Bolt Ls400 1997?
steve2006 replied to Flyguy75's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
The Torx bolts you are attempting to remove actually hold the 2 parts of the piston chambers together and should never be removed. As Johnny 123 mentions the calipers are actually secured to the carrier bracket with 2 17mm bolts,one top one bottom. It is slightly worrying that you are working on a car's braking system without a manual, a reasonable knowledge of vehicle repair techniques,parts description and without the correct tools. Why are you replacing the caliper? Do you know how to bleed a braking system? Do you know which type of grease to use and where to put it? If the answer to t -
If the rims are new you could have stick on balance weight strips fitted,they go behind the rim face so are hidden and don't show. Also low profile so tend to clear calipers. Not recommended for old or corroded rims as they tend to come off.

C6 is the only one located in the backlight invertor area, I have seen this particular capacitor with a bulging shell indicating overheating/high ESR. No guarantees it will fix the problem but worth replacing to see for a few cents, just make sure you buy a branded make with a 105 degree rating.

Because this topic relates to the 93-94 cluster problems not the 90-92 :) On the 90-91 cluster check out C6 220UF/25V on the top PCB,it is located just above the white 3 plug (CNU) and between the 2 transformers
