heres some of the pics

well in order to take out the Rear you need to take the exhaust from the catback off


then i took off these parts you might not have too but i thought it would make it easier


then i took out the three bolts holding the driveshaft to the rear
these bolts are 17mm ...it really helps to put the car in nuetral spin the driveshaft
and put in back into park



then i took out the 6 bolts that hold in the shafts with a 10mm hex wrench and a piece of black pipe to use as leverage



before i took out the next series of bolts i slid a jackk underneath
then i took out the three 12mm hex bolts


then i took out the two 18mm bolts up front and lowered it down




and thats all folks ..i think this is it for a while unless i decide to change the sparkplugs
or thermostat ....but the thermostat i can show you guys soon if you want
thansk again for all the replies ...made it go along that much easier

that's nice johnny. cool to see that you are putting undercoating on the rear end. the supra tt unit probably runs a lot hotter than usual, that's why all the fins for cooling

thanks Henry

when i drained the unit there was hardly any metal on the drain plug

i would imagine with all these fins it must run hotter


next stop putting all the IC piping back on once it gets back

then off to get tuned and join the FI registry

and possible Q45 headlights ..not sure if im going to be able to tackle that but ill try at least once
