    issues removing and installing toyota right cv axle

    Earlier this week I completed some repairs on my '11 FWD 3.5L Sienna but not without issues. I removed the right cv axle to replace a leaking inner CV boot. First issue I ran into was that I galled up the threads of the axle end when removing the spindle nut. I think this was a mistake on my...

    opinions on this Subaru timing belt?

    2008 WRX ~126k miles. This car was purchased used with no maintenance records but previous owner says the timing belt was replaced. I removed the left and right covers to take a look at the condition of the timing belt, can't trust that the job was done, right? So here it is, a genuine Subaru...

    L14459, 3312 comparison w/pictures

    Sorry if this is a repost. I have had a Purolator L14459 and Bosch 3312 sitting around for quite a while and only recently noticed that they seem to be nearly identical. With them being so alike I think the purolator wins due to the far lower price than the bosch goes for. Here's the pictures I...
