    Good Morning........yes, you should just be able to pull it out. Only held in by the friction of the rubber grommet that secures it.
    From what your describing, I'd remove it and use a water based Evaporator Cleaner to spray in to clean out debris, etc.

    I've used this product to clean mine and to clean the coils on the refrigerator in the house. Works great to get rid of any musty odor that may be lurking in the evaporator housing.

    Nice man, we just did the same thing last week. Officially an all Toyota household too.

    Already got a first little hiking trip with it, taking it to go backpacking too. Perfect size for me, the lady, and the dogs

    Anyone running a 27f battery in the factory spot? Is the positive cable long enough and does the hold down need modified?

    Edit: found quite a bit of info using the search function... :facepalm:

    I was thinking of pulling the blower and trying to get in there and clean it. Might do it just for sanity's sake even though all the shit in there is only a year old.

    gave the truck a good cleaning today. after i got it washed off i used some of that Lucas quickmist stuff to put a nice shine on her and then treated the windows with RainX. truck wasn't that dirty but i realized that this is my last opportunity to wash the truck for 4 months since i'm not taking my cleaning supplies to school. i also wiped down the dash and vacuumed up the floor matts.

    Ok, looking for suggestions to allow my inner tie rod to turn (to allow adjustment) on the OTRE. I got the lock nut loosened, have applied penetrating oil, applied heat, used pipe to extend wrench.

    Maybe just...more time with penetrating oil?

    Nothing looks corroded, no visible rust.

    Q2: seems to me that I should be able to get an alignment with only one side adjustable, though the steering wheel may not end up centered if they have to do toe adjustments, correct?

    You can get your toe set with one side. Camber obviously both sides need work. Castor depends on where things already are if you can get away with only one if them. Like you said your wheel will not be centered. I've never had a problem turning the itr to adjust things. Just the jam nut takes a bit of heat usually.
