Looking for help in PA/MD
Hey all,
I am looking for someone to help me change my rotors on my 1993 Pickup 4x4. I have changed rotors on VW's and Other FWD cars but never a 4x4 yota. If anybody has and would be willing to help, I live in hanover pa. If you are able to help before the weather turns cold...name the time and i will provide lunch...some cold ones and a couple of bills...shoot me a pm or e-mail me at Brandontrek@hotmail.com Thanks....

If you can't find anyone to help you out for beers. See if you can get in contact with Brian (Otter) @ whaley enterprises. He is up near you and has a small shop, with very fair labor prices and does good quality work.
You can stand there and watch while he does it, and learn how to do it yourself for next time.

Brandon,
I don't know if I would have any spare time to get to you to help, but here is a good list of things you should get. Rotors(duh), socket for the hub nut(54mm socket, or a 2 1/8 socket {sears is a good place}), new bearings and all seals, and a big ol'e tub of wheel bearing grease. Hope that helps out.

I also would love to learn, but couldn't teach you a thing. The shop I used to use in Littlestown is closed now (lost the Snyder's company truck maintenance contract, and other business couldn't keep him going). I'm now using a place in Frederick that has done my Supra work, but I know that doesn't help much. Good luck!

It's Foreign Auto Excellence on Tilco Drive near the VEIP station. Ask for Alan (manager) or Ken (mechanic) and tell them Greg (with the Supra & 4Runner) sent you
