Picture below from ‎Angie Edwards:

..."working on a budget of less than $100, so I will add more later.
That is a normal full size single bed, with a really comfy Sealy innerspring mattress, heaps of storage underneath and I can sit on it without hitting my head on the roof!.. picked it up on Gumtree for $40, and there is still room for my kitchen at the back."

Getting to top bolts for strut mount

How to get access to the top bolts for strut mount.

The passenger side is doable with a tiny wrench from the underside if you don't mind scraping up your hand. Underside of dash that is


Found removing the cover under the steering wheel made it easier.


Thanks for pictures from Robert Jackson‎

Toyota Previa: Access the top bolts for strut mount.

"You have to remove the plastic cover under the steering wheel. Under there you’ll have to remove this metal brace support thing and then the air vent thing. I just started taking it apart and it was pretty obvious."- Joseph M. C.

Also search "Strut replacement" on this site and you will find more info.

Towing a caravan, no problem.. This is a Solifer 5502i from 1988. Measured the Engine Coolant Temperature when towd this caravan, about 95 degrees, just as normal.

"This 28 foot trailer is heavy, but the van pulled it down to the curb without any issues. Best minivans ever made." - ‎J. Blabey‎


Ted towing trailer


Sergio towing, have painted sides white.

Daniel is towing a Toyota Previa. Pretty heavy load!

Be careful out there.
SC an NA are rated at 3500lbs with a 350lb tongue weight. That being said, if you're hauling a bigger load I'd definitely use trailer brakes.

"This kind of work is actually pretty easy. None of the bolts are rusted stuck and you make constant progress. I went mostly with the factory repair manual's procedure. Really the only difference to some other transmission removal is the fact that you absolutely have to support the rear of the engine while the transmission is out.

I replaced the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and the pilot bearing, with new ones. All was LuK aftermarket except the OEM pilot bearing. That's a good boundary for replacing parts as any of these can destroy each other, but nothing outside of these really can. The original parts seemed OEM."

 Remove engine rear mounting bolts?

Toyota Tacoma seems to have the same gearbox and perhaps also the same engine..

Here a clutch replacement on a Tacoma from 1997:

 "The Drive shaft was probably the easiest part to remove on the whole car. 4 bolts, and it slides right out of the transmission. I love RWD. Book said to mark it for reinstall. So I did so."
