Replacing the clutch pedal bushings is a fairly straight forward project. It also seems to be a near annual event for my truck. You will need the new bushings, a few tools, and an hour or so to complete the replacement. Toyota Part Numbers for Replacement Bushings: ea (Round for the sides of the spring) ea (U-shaped for the center of the spring/pedal groove) ea (Round for the center pivot tube of the clutch pedal) ea (fork plunger through pin bushing) ea (spring) Tools used: 3/8 ratchet 3 of 20

6 Various ratchet extensions 14mm, 12mm, 10mm sockets 14mm wrench Philips/Standard screwdriver Channel locks Grease Brute strength 1. Refer to the Dash Take-Apart Instructions, Steps 6, 7 & 8 to give your self some working room. 2. Remove the 12mm bolt from under the dash. This is where a long ratchet extension comes in handy. A universal ratchet joint may be used as well, but I found it to be more of a pain to try to get it to line up with the angle of the bolt. 4 of 20

3. Pop the hood to access the clutch master cylinder (CMC). There are two 12mm nuts that are on the body of the CMC that attach to studs that go through the firewall.

7 3. Pop the hood to access the clutch master cylinder (CMC). There are two 12mm nuts that are on the body of the CMC that attach to studs that go through the firewall. These two studs are holding the clutch pedal assembly to firewall under the dash inside the cab. Once the two nuts are removed, GENTLY pull the CMC towards the front of the truck to free the studs from the CMC. WARNING - the CMC is plumbed with solid tubing. Be very careful in moving the CMC around to avoid kinking the lines! 4. The clutch pedal assembly is now free of the firewall. You must now get back under the dash to access the fork/plunger assembly that attaches the clutch pedal to the CMC. The fork/plunger is connected to the clutch pedal via a trough-pin that is held in place by two small tension washers and a cotter pin. Remove the cotter pin and push the through-pin out of the assembly. BE CAFEFUL to account for the two small tension washers that are on either side of the through-pin, they are easy to loose. Remove the two electrical connections on either side of the clutch pedal. The clutch pedal assembly should now be completely free and can be removed with a little creative wiggling. Again, be careful not to be to forceful with the fork/plunger connected to the CMC. 5 of 20

Considering you have the entire pedal out of the truck, you may as well replace all the bushings while you have easy

8 5. Once the pedal assembly is removed you can inspect the bushings for replacement. If one is shot, chances are the others are as well. Considering you have the entire pedal out of the truck, you may as well replace all the bushings while you have easy access to the assembly. The center spring bushing is the main culprit of the squeaking that you hear when depressing the pedal. It eventually gets eaten away allowing for that great metal-on-metal squeal. 6 of 20

6. Removing the spring is a bit of a pain. I accomplished this by securing the pedal assembly in a vice and squeezing each coil on the spring with the channel locks.

Once one side was out it was easy to wrangle the other side out. The old bushings were then cut out of the assembly or simply fell out due to wear. 7.

9 6. Removing the spring is a bit of a pain. I accomplished this by securing the pedal assembly in a vice and squeezing each coil on the spring with the channel locks. I then pried the end of the spring out with a screwdriver. Don't worry about messing up the bushing as it's going to get replaced. Once one side was out it was easy to wrangle the other side out. The old bushings were then cut out of the assembly or simply fell out due to wear. 7. Remove the pedal from the assembly using the 14mm socket and wrench. When the nut is removed the bolt will slide through the assembly and the pedal can be removed. When the pedal is free of the assembly pivot tube and bushings can be removed. 7 of 20

10 8. Old vs. New From left to right: Center pivot tube bushings, U-shaped spring bushing, round side spring bushings. 9. Clean and re-grease the pivot tube and bushing. Re-install the pivot tube and bushings into the pedal and then install the pedal into the assembly. 8 of 20

Here's where the brute force tool comes in handy. The spring is a little reluctant to get back into its perch.

11 10. Install and grease the three remaining bushings. Tip: For the side bushings, I used the channel locks to squeeze them into place then tapped them in the rest of the way with the screwdriver. 11. Re-install the spring. Here's where the brute force tool comes in handy. The spring is a little reluctant to get back into its perch. I placed one end of the spring into the side bushing and the center of the spring into the U- shaped bushing and pedal. **Make sure you have the spring facing the right way before you get too far! I then used a large screwdriver placed through the spring and levered on it. The spring then compressed enough to where I could muscle it back into place. This step is what took the longest and caused me to curse the most. 9 of 20

12. Installation is the reverse of removal. Keep in mind not to move the CMC too much. If it all possible, have an extra set of hands hold the pedal assembly to the firewall while you re-bolt the CMC.

12 12. Installation is the reverse of removal. Keep in mind not to move the CMC too much. If it all possible, have an extra set of hands hold the pedal assembly to the firewall while you re-bolt the CMC. When reattaching the fork/plunger of the CMC to the clutch pedal (See step 4) make sure you re-install the two little tension washers on the through-pin. A word of advice; although the replacement of the bushings is not terribly difficult, if your truck is still under warranty when you get the clutch pedal squeal, take it to the dealer. Replace Your Fuel Filter (3.4L V6) By: Jeff Toyota recommends that you replace your fuel filter every 30,000 miles or 24 months. The operation is simple and should take no more than 30 minutes. The part should cost no more than about $15 at your local auto parts store. Tools Needed: - Fuel Filter (Which part # do I need?) - Sockets: 10mm (deep-well recommended) - Wrenches: 19mm and 14mm - Shop rags and glass jar (to collect leaking fuel) Depressurize Fuel System It is VERY important that you depressurize the fuel system before you replace your fuel filter. Failure to do so may result in injury from gasoline under pressure. Follow these steps: 1. Remove gas cap from filler neck. This will relieve the pressure in the tank. 10 of 20

Simply pull it out and leave on the floor until you are done.

13 2. Remove the fuel pump circuit relay to disable the fuel pump. This relay is located under the dash on the drivers side near the fuse block. Simply pull it out and leave on the floor until you are done. Alternatively, you may disconnect the fuel pump harness on the gas tank. However, removing the circuit relay is usually much easier. Under the dash Looking up from floorboard 11 of 20

4L V6 engine, the fuel filter is located under the truck about midway back on the drivers side - almost directly under the driver's seat.

14 Closeup of relay 3. Start the truck and wait for the engine to stall. Once it has stalled, the fuel pressure has been relieved. It is safe to continue. Replace the Filter Location: On the 3.4L V6 engine, the fuel filter is located under the truck about midway back on the drivers side - almost directly under the driver's seat. It will look similar to the photo to the right: 1. Use the 19mm and 14mm wrenches to loosen the banjo bolt on either end of the fuel filter. Have shop rags and/or jar ready as gas will begin to leak out immediately. 12 of 20

Loosen the 10mm filter clamp bolt and remove the old filter, and install the new filter in the bracket.

15 2. Remove the two 10mm nuts that hold the fuel filter bracket to the body of the truck. Once the bracket is loose, you should be able to manuever the filter and bracket loose from the truck. 3. Loosen the 10mm filter clamp bolt and remove the old filter, and install the new filter in the bracket. While doing this, take note of the direction that the filter is installed. The new filter should have a Flow >> indicator on it. Make sure that the new filter is installed the correct direction. Loosely tighten the 10mm filter clamp bolt, leaving some room for play. 13 of 20

16 4. Manuever the bracket and new filter into place and tighten the banjo bolts. Tighten the 10mm nuts that attach the bracket to the body. Tighten the 10mm filter clamp bolt. 14 of 20

5. Re-install the fuel pump circuit relay (or the fuel pump harness) and start the truck. The first crank-over of the truck may result in some stuttering due to the loss in fuel pressure. 6.

17 5. Re-install the fuel pump circuit relay (or the fuel pump harness) and start the truck. The first crank-over of the truck may result in some stuttering due to the loss in fuel pressure. 6.

View the PDF file >> Extended Frame Rust Coverage Information (95-00 Model Year Tacomas) Toyota has received isolated reports regarding a small number of 1995 through 2000 model year Tacoma vehicles exhibiting excessive rust corrosion to the frame causing perforation of the metal. Toyota has investigated these reports and determined that the vehicle frames in some vehicles may not have adequate corrosion-resistant protection. This combined with prolonged exposure to road salts and other environmental factors may contribute to the development of excessive rust corrosion in the frames of some vehicles. This is unrelated to and separate from normal surface rust which is commonly found on metallic surfaces after some years of usage and/or exposure to the environment. Although the vehicleâ s frame is covered by Toyotaâ s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customerâ s overall experience and confidence in their vehicle. To assure our customers that we stand behind the product, we are providing an extension of the warranty coverage on certain 1995 through 2000 model year Tacoma vehicles for perforation of the vehicleâ s frame caused by rust corrosion. This warranty extension will be offered for a period of 15 years with no mileage limitation from the vehicleâ s in-service date, for this specific condition. The owner notification will commence in mid-march Below are the vehicle inspection and warranty policy files Toyota has been distributing to their dealers: -Â Vehicle Inspection Procedures -Â Warranty Policy Information Ongoing owner discussion about this issue is taking place in the CustomTacos.com Forum in this thread: 20 of 20
