Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior FYI-NEW LIFT BOLTS GOOD TILL 28K!

the two lift bolts are taken from an 03' GTS. the owner implies that he hits lift ALL the time. the mileage when he changed the factory bolts are 28K miles...so anyone whohas the new lift bolts you can be good for at least 28K...but be sure to inspect them every 9-10 months just in case

where you able to change yours ct???maybe when mine comes time to replace you can help me out

having to check a bolt in the engine under the valve cover this often is a HUGE problem.

Gay

yup! no prob...lemmie know...i changedmine weeks ago.with the both of us it should take 20 min...

...read. what's good about it is that my payments are still the same, they gave me back all the mods i did to it to sell, and i got an 01 with half themiles on it...not bad...till i get my g35/z...lol

lucky broke his new style bolts in less than 7K and he "hits lift daily"

so you should check every other oil change.

Did you take this pic from new celica.org, or was that you who posted it there?

doesn't mike have an 00-01? maybe it was because it was the older lift bolts that he originally had...or maybe mike spends way too much time in lift lol.

but yeah,. like i stated before it should be checked before 28K..lol. i think once every 3 oil changes for me around 6-7 months. i hardly hit lift...maybe 1-2 times a week...

damn lucky i just changed mine last week.. ..i'm at 28.5k ..glad i did..i was talkin to the dude that sold me the car when i went to pick up my lift bolts and he said the guy who sells part for toyota think the internet are a wack and should be thrown away and he also said all his years of selling parts he never sold one Flange(Lift) bolts..and he said just because 2 or 3 car have that problem everyone makes a big deal out of it..i think he's a bunch of shit..he know nothing. anyway, that's just my story.

never go to that dealership again!! if it was so "whack" then why is there an official TSB for the lift bolts to be repaired???

^^^^that's what i thought too..i'm like, this guys is a dumbass..don't know shit if it hit him on the face..i'm never going back there again, unless the engine broke down or blown up like Pink_panther..i'm still under powertrain warranty for this entire year or 30k..so if something on the engine is going to die it betta die now..but after i changed the lift bolt, it went into lift very smoothly..love it.

He took it off from there... Thanks for the reference ct ;p

so i can get my lift bolts changed under warranty?

ok, i know of the problem with the lift bolts, i hear as stated in this topic it takes 20mins to change and to check you just need to remove bolts in the engine under the valve cover, however i have never seen a write up on how to do it on this page. i searched and searched, i have a 00 gts and the lift bolts were never replaced, a guy in his 40's owned it and said he never redlined the car and it hit's lift strong for me, but i want to check them and change them, it has 46,500 miles on it so as far as i know the warranty won't cover it, i would like to do it myself, does anyone know the procedure of checking and replacing? and how many lift bolts are there? thanks a lot, sorry i don't know all this stuff i only had the car for a month...thanks! -don

go to Teamcelica.com, and check the tech sectiom. They have a very nice write-up

sweet, thanks a lot!

wth are there 3 bolts in taht pic???

and I had the new style bolts break after 6500 miles but my car would fall under the "extreme conditions" category. lol

they really arent hard to change at all. it can be done in 10 - 15 mins if the engine is cool.

the problem with changing them, is if they are broken

yeah...i heard if they are broke they are a real BITCH to change...ooo and for the record HOW THE Heck would i get em' out???

if it has broke and the shaft has not rotated then they are still easy to remove. if the shaft rotates its a pain in the a$$.

6.5k???!!...ARE YOU IN LIFT EVEN WHEN YOU'RE PARKED?lol ...but yeah i know you like to push the car quite a bit huh?
