    super easy. However,

    Not to do the whole OEM thing again but my aftermarket gaskets from Rockauto leaked badly when I put it back together. So spring for the OEM ones. Im going to have to re do it. You need FIPG too to do the half moons.

    Trucks in general are easy. Much more room. As for fwd vehicles. Toyota and Honda are the two easiest to work on.

    Might need an extension with a wobble end or a u-joint. Don't think you do, but don't recall for sure.

    If you do use a ujoint, wrap it in electrical tape first so it doesn't flop all over the place.

    I used the blue felpro gaskets from the parts store. They've been fine for a few years.

    :thumbsup:

    I still don't recall which bolt that is, but like I mentioned, I pulled the AC compressor when I did my TB. Not sure which way is more work. :notsure:

    Surely Monte owns a torque wrench. :cookiemonster:

    Not if you don't undo any lines. If you crank a line, discharged.

    That looks like a pain in the dick.

    Takes a few minutes to pull the ac compressor and bracket, and does not discharge the system. You just move it out of the way with the lines connected.

    Sometimes the time saving method doesn't save you any time...

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Yall are using torque specs for a big squishy rubber gasketed cover? Just snug it up and let the FIPG set before you give it one more round of snugging. Don't over think it
