Re: Bolt ID Question

Years ago, I bought a six-point (rather than the more common 12 point) socket just for this job. No problems since.

Re: Distributor sitting for years at shop

Yeah, whenever I go on a road trip, it's the only thing I carry (along with the tools to change it.)

Re: e-brake

Just pull up the handbrake lever inside the car, and you should be able to see the switch for the light just to the right of the sector gear. Good luck!

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Nordical25- Yep- red car next to your Tercel is an R8. Also, I forgot to mention, I've also had a bunch of LeCars (R5s.) Never had a R5 Turbo tho- too cheap! In fact, I was driving LeCars when I first got into Tercel Wagons. Man, what a difference in parts availability- it got to the point where I w...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

I like the R10 in pics 2&3- I had one decades ago (and also a Caravelle, R12 wagon, and R8.)

Head lights and front sidemarkers are the same on FWD and 4WD. Only the grille is different (but interchangeable.)

Re: Asking for trouble (crankshaft pulley removal)
