This week's official 4runner hacking...
Well, installed a new Cat, new EGR valve and filters, new o2 sensor, did a tune up and ruined my left front hub...
Cat is installed with 2 extension pipes and 3 pipe clamps (yipee, looks shoddy but no leaks and should now pass emissions) Old cat had nothin in it...almost a straight pipe.
Cheap new EGR broke while installing it, I may have torqued down the tube from the EGR valve itself, to the tube on the back of the intake a "little" too much, as I snapped the aluminum pipe off the EGR off. Couple of hose clamps and some re-enforced thick wall rubber hose cleaned that right up.
Finally, my left front hub now engages, stole(literally) a manual hub cover off a suzuki with the same 10mm bolt pattern around it with the spring and gear still intact and slapped her on.
Now if I could just find a way to get that damn driverside ball joint out, she'd be all set.
