The other day, I saw some pressure with the oil filter in a 2KD. I have a oil filter wrench/vice grip. I lock the wrench onto the filter and tie a string onto the handle. Then pulled from the other side of the engine, guess greater leverage. I bought the 3 Jaw oil filter tool hopefully to try next time...

Yea man usually a 3/8 or it has a 1/2 adapter. That is good price. Yes to extender, to get clearance so you can have more space to turn.

I ketch my tail the other day with oil filter too
the normal scissor type wrench too big to fit
I borrowed a padna own which is basically a big C shaped metal with a little hinged handle which bites into the side when turned

Will probably weld up a clone

I Used a rubber strap wrench before. But now I just get the k&n oil filter with the nut at the top and that makes it a lot easier.

Does anyone else have that annoying rattle coming from the brake pedal? I usually hear it travelling over rough roads.

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » June 26th, 2018, 8:19 am

whilst lightly pressing brakes ?
If you are lightly pressing brakes over uneven surface it can trigger abs which pulses on/off and sometimes feels like rattle.

I almost hit a wall turning into a business place once, turned in and pressed brakes lightly and the canal/pavement was very uneven, the reduced braking and momentum took me very close to a wall as I was not paying attention
and looking at oncoming cars.

I will be able to confirm that today
I get that from time to time
I was told its a bad rackend and/or stabilzer rubber.
Changing all that today. So i will hit a lil trail and see whats happening.

*KRONIK* · Postby ***KRONIK*** » June 26th, 2018, 5:06 pm

So... bad news Rainman.
I channged inner and outer rack ends, stabilizer rubber and links...
Took the van on a lil trail run ans it still doing it. It ease up plenty so some of the noise was due to suspension components. There is still a kinda knocking vibration from the brakes.
Gonna flush the brake fluid sometime soon and see if that helps.

Rainman · Postby **Rainman** » June 27th, 2018, 9:41 pm

Braking operation is fine with no vibrations or noises. The issue I have is a rattle from the pedal only, got up under the dash and saw that it's connected via nut and bolt but couldn't tighten any further.

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » June 28th, 2018, 3:10 pm

Recently changed pads?

Rainman · Postby **Rainman** » June 28th, 2018, 6:57 pm

The issue isn't the pad, it's the pedal. Even when the vehicle is parked and I shake the pedal it rattles.

Kun26r-prpsy rotor warp. Toyota grinds and a few months later it warps, so it gets replaced under warranty. Replacment warped, I got it grinded and its a matter of time before it warps again. There is a hot cold explanation for this, but for decades of driving, I. Never had this issue on Ford and Nissan vehicles. Can anyone guide?
