I stopped by Toyota of Kirkland on Monday to pick up a crank bolt - thought I was going to be putting things back together.

He only charged me $11.76 for a part with a $5.76 list price.

That is why the dealership(s) are called the stealerships. I really wonder if any dealership actually charges list price, unless they are called out on it?

One dealership near DC now charges a handling charge for all ordered inventory; I guess some parts guy or girl does have to exert some degree of energy to go to the stockroom and back.

Picked up the new crank pulley after work today. Pulled the timing belt for the fourth time, put it all back together and the truck is running great.

Thanks again for all the help.
