Starter Removal from Upper intake

[Green7mgte]

I do this every time I work on my supra. I right down step by step everything I did then log it into my computer for safe keeping. This time however I figured Id share it with you guys.

for the life of me I couldn't get the top bolt off my starter from underneath. Weird angles improper tools. Maybe I couldn't just wrap my head around the procedure. I was tired of messing with it tho so I just removed the upper intake plenum and got at it that way. The following is a list from start to finish on the steps I took and things I removed.. Not worded very elegantly, but its good enough for my notes.. I originally use a good size dry erase board then bring it in the house for my repair data...
Hope I can help someone with this.
