I pulled it from the junk yard. They are definitely available on eBay and should be pretty cheap. One step I did not show is that I needed to saw off the harness connector on the back of the Corolla clock. Here is one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/98-99-00-01-02-TOYOTA-COROLLA-PRIZM-83910-02040-DASH-DIGITAL-TIME-CLOCK-G-12/152623201345?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D228411%26meid%3Df6268f2018594e79816d7dbe96445fc9%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D174305935983%26itm%3D152623201345%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithDarwoV3BBEV2b%26brand%3DToyota&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 They are a good size for this project and a pretty square which makes it easier to modify the hole that needs to be cut. I will look next time I am at the junk yard, too. Just FYI, I basically cut a hole in the face of the original clock body and glued the Corolla clock inside that body. I had more photos to show the process but the forum limits photo total to 2mb. Pretty sure if you own one of these you are probably pretty used to finagling with stuff, lol.

I tried that first. I could see that 5 or 6 of the points were bad. When I connected it to 12v, it would only light up when two of the buttons were pushed and would not retain the time. Had a couple of goes at it and could not get it to work. To make matters worse, the battery wire on the factory harness doesn't have power. The acc and illumination work. I will be wiring this one to the stereo area when I get the ol' Loyale fired back up in another month or so.

Hey guys. Just rebuilt my dash clock using a much more reliable 2001(?) Toyota Corolla clock. Going to post photos if anyone is interested. Probably won't actually install it for a while still.

How to pull new rear bearing hub on to axle
kmpdx replied to kmpdx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey guys! Got the pin in and the bearing and everything back together. Guess what? Bearing is fixed! The Loyale is ready to roll again. Really appreciate the help and if you see a gray Loyale around Portland with silver hood and liftgate, that's me! Thanks! kmpdx -
ea82 lifter tick & bubbles in oil
kmpdx replied to wysubey's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Reseal the oil pump. I had the tick for two years and finally did timing belts and the oil pump reseal at the same time. Instantly fixed! -

How to pull new rear bearing hub on to axle

Hey guys, Well, I got the shaft into the bearing. Unfortunately, I bent the roll pin trying to get it back in. I need another pin. Does anybody have a part number or can advise me where I might find one? Thanks! kmpdx -

Thanks. If it turns out the bearing is messed up at least by now I am experienced if further repair is needed! kmpdx -
How to pull new rear bearing hub on to axle
kmpdx replied to kmpdx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thanks guys! Well I wish I had known about the roll pin. I will try to take it out and get the shaft into the bearing. If it's messed up I will just have to redo it with the bearings on the shaft. I will follow up and let you know how it went in a couple of days. Thanks! kmpdx -
Hey guys. got everything apart and got the bearing pressed in at a shop. The question is how to get the shaft stub pulled back on to the axle. I followed this guide and was able to get the passenger side one done using the hammer method shown in the tutorial here: I tried to do it the same way and could not get that sucker to work. I guess I am wondering if there is a tool that I could use to make it easier. My plan at this point is to try the hammer method again but with a larger washer under the castle bolt and a helper to line up the shaft by moving it around while I pull. Any other tips? Should I partially put the bolts in? Any ideas or tips? Here is a picture of the shaft: Sorry the picture is on there twice, LOL Thanks! kmpdx

Will these wheels fit my Loyale?
kmpdx replied to kmpdx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thanks guys. Knew you would know the info on these. I didn't buy them since they would not work without modification. I thought they would look cool, but definitely satisfied with my current wheels. Thanks! kmpdx -

Okay. Glad I asked on here. This guy has two full sets. Thanks -
Hey guys, I am thinking of buying these wheels. Will they fit on my Loyale? I expect they will but just want to be sure. Does anybody know if the chrome part is just an insert? Can it come out? Also, what year and make did these originally come with? Thanks, kmpdx

Rear hatch 1991 Loyale GL compatible?
kmpdx replied to kmpdx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
OK. Thanks. That is the information that I am looking for. I am good with swapping stuff since it really isn't much more work than swapping the lock anyway. I just wanted to make sure it can be done. Didn't mean to mix up GL and DL but I have only owned a Loyale and the photo is low res and hard to see. Beech, of you are serious about the parts you can contact B&R autowrecking by phone, The car is gray not blue. Thanks guys! kmpdx
