    Talking Part 2 of FPR Replacement














    Today, I ordered a seal kit for the power steering gearbox from isuzuparts.com. $152 shipped to Hawaii. I should have it next week and I'll do a pictorial on that project as well.

    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.

    Since you went through all that trouble you might want to replace your fuel filter also. It is probably more important to do than the FPR!

    I had HUGE improvements from replacing my FPR. Great starts, better mpg, more response. I would reccomend this to everyone.

    Thumbs up

    Nice write up, you should be working for one of the repair manual publishers.

    Was there much particulate matter in the FPR screen upon dis-assembly ?

    Nice write-up. the tips to cut the hex key, and replace the bolt were particularly nice touches, that a do-it-yourselfer would have struggled with. A trip to the Snap-on truck (or Sears) will get you a "Gearwrench" brand ratchet box wrench, with 50 or 60 assorted bits (hex, torx, security torx, square drive etc.etc.) for just such situations....about 45 bucks at Sears. One of those tools you can't do without once you use it. Wayne
