Hi,

unfortunately, my air conditioning has stopped working. I’d like to try having it refilled first.
The problem is that while local workshops are capable of refilling it, they won't work on cars they aren't familiar with or that aren't in their system.

That’s why I’m trying to find out exactly how much R134a gas and ND-8 oil the system requires. So far, I haven't been able to find reliable information on this.

Perhaps one of you knows the correct amounts so I can provide this information to the workshops.

I'm currently planning to replace the timing belt on my 1JZ. Unfortunately, I don't have a powerfull impact gun.

After doing some research, I came across the Toyota Crank Tool to lock the crankshaft in place and loosen the crank bolt. Has anyone ever
used this tool before? I’m a little worried that the two bolts that go into the pulley might strip. Or am I worrying for nothing because they don’t actually take that much force?
