creative Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 probably less hassle to get the one for 80quid buddy! still has to get the old one out! I got the kit just before I killed my supra and it cost me £16 from toyota. Once the starter is out, its a 5 min job to swap the parts over. If you are DIY'ing it you do need 2 or 3 bendy sockets and several extentions to get the top bolt off... (another quality design, just like the heater matrix!) It can be done without any.. as I did, but I had 4 long extensions and only just managed to get the socket on! you cannot get a spanner on it... I tried... from every conceivable direction and position! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
