Sounds like your caliper pin has rusted. Probably has not seen any lube for a while. Normally, it just slides off without any effort. New pins can be bought, and if the caliper guide is rusted, you would need to replace the caliper. The fit needs to be pretty tight or your caliper will...

This one is a little small, but it will work. I have one and used it to clean up the machine marks on my head and block. http://www.statecollegecentral.com/metallathe/MLA19.html I tried to get Reg's one but he no longer appears to sell it. You will also need some diamond lapping paste...

Read this before you buy, lots of good info... http://www.danielsternlighting.com/

Based on my own experience, the semi-trailing arm rear suspension on the MKII is inferior to the double wishbone on the MKIII. The MKII rear end breaks loose with very little effort, whereas the MKIII sticks like glue. I don't want to start a flame war, its just my experience after owning both...

Thanks for the info everyone. From the EPC it looks like the breather is a pretty standard part across many Toyota's. I think I'll pick up a new one for about $10 and give it a try. Shaeff, if you do take a look, please let me know if you think its accessible without dropping the pumpkin.

Harbor freight sells some huge needle nose pliers with a 45 degree bend. Works great for getting this hose out, and the one like it at the firewall.

I have been having a differential gear oil leak from my left oil seal. I've replaced the seal twice, the second time being very careful to put it in straight. It still leaks. It is especially bad in the first mile from a cold start, which leads me to believe the differential breather may...

Go to Home Depot and buy a 4 foot long iron gas pipe to go over the handle of your breaker bar.

Here's a suggestion, if you put gasket sealer on the seal outer surface it will slide in much easier than if dry. IJ always recommended using the Permatex Indian Head sealer for this. http://midwayautosupply.com/p-14211-permatex-indian-head-gasket-shellac-compound-2-oz-bottle-20539.aspx

What exhaust system is that you have on it?

You can buy a tube of ARP moly assembly lube at horsepowerfreaks.com. ARP 100-9903 ARP, Engine Miscellaneous Assembly Moly Lube 1.69 Oz http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/sale////searchpart/100-9903

Wow, did they ever change the oil on that engine!

I guess it depends where you live. I can get it in a day here from my dealer in California.

I would say they are too thin to have any structural significance.

There are actually two plates. The silver metal shim, and a black plate with a slick (moly?) coating. The silver plate just provides a smooth surface for the black plate to contact. If you look at the pad itself, the backing plate is painted and pretty rough so the black plate would bind...

I don't really get this post. The gasket is only $3.50 from Toyota. Why go anywhere else?

It should not run 200C without a thermostat. It should be running very cold instead. You have a cooling problem. I would start by examining the radiator for clogs. It is also well know that proper air flow is critical. The shroud for the stock fan is critical to get uniform airflow...

This is the new dipstick. Much easier to read than the earlier ones. 15301-42012 $10.22 dipstick

Make sure the ground leads shown here (not attached in the picture) are attached to the bolt on the intake runners. Make sure the igniter was plugged back in. The other thing would be to check for any codes after cranking.
