Well if you don't find any help we are a local shop and we are always willing to use our lift and show you step by step how to do it. A small donation to support local shops would be required.

Thanks.

Just want to let everyone know that I am in the process of purchasing a professional grade brake power bleeder.

You're supposed to flush the fluid every year because it's hydroscopic...

I don't know what hydroscopic means but I could use a good brake fluid flush.

I'm helping a friend with an 01 Lexus GS300 do his 90k service for which the dealer charges over $1,000!

Free otherwise...

Feel free to drop by and I can give you a hand. I've never replaced the crank pulley before so it'll be a first time for me. I think a special tool might be neccessary to hold the original crank pulley in place... do you have any install instructions?

Yea i know how how much they charge for the 90k, I had to deal with that with my old gs300.

I've never installed a pulley myself either, so I'm not exactly sure what kinds of tools are needed. But I heard that an impact gun will get it out easily thats if it can get in there. I do have instructions provided by KJR.
