But every once in a while I would just LOVE to punch a Toyota engineer

2000 Avalon XLS
I bought a OEM replacement for my wife's Avalon. Now I have to take out
the original and put in this new (used) one. I printed out a how-to
from the Web. Any hints, pitfalls? Thanks.

My son's Paseo has a stuck left front brake caliper from what he
describes, wheel pulling, very  hot to the touch, smell.  Anyway, we're
gonna pull the wheel and take a look at it tonight.  Been awhile since

I was playing with some fonts I found on the web (about 1000!) and ran across this one. Does the bold text below look familiar to anyone? Not an exact replication, but close. The original was a more 'stylized' logo.  And if you DO remember it, it shows how long you've been ...

Can anyone advise me how to replace the driver's inside door handle of
my 1994 Camry. I checked on line, and they are pretty inexpensive to
purchase. I would like to do it myself, and avoid going to a dealer.

I have just purchased a 1995 Corolla, all works fine except the
heater.

I'm having trouble finding a wiring harness for my 2006 Camry.
It is the JBL unit, with the in-dash 6-CD changer.  It has a "SAT"
button, but no satellite radio.  I have the separate JBL amp behind the
