Bah.... the alternator... not paying attention here eh? Sorry... that's even easier, but I think the TSRM covers it fine. I'll look it up.

EDIT: Well, it's a simple job, but the TSRM may not explain it well enough, I dunno: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...aspx?S=CH&P=17

The only trick is that there's a metal bushing in the upper mount which presses inward as you tighten the top bolt. If you have trouble getting the top pivot in us some pliers or a small C clamp to press the bushing back out of the gap... it'll close back in when you tighten the bolt down.
