    To all you wonderful 4runner people out there, the dreaded torque converter bolts! My god what was toyota thinking. Putting those bolts in or out sucks. Well take out the sway bar, and it is easy peasy. Even if you have to do it by yourself. Turn the motor line it up, go back put in bolt, but dont tighten them down until you get past the third bolt. They wont line up. I have been a 4runner guy for all about two weeks. Rebuilt my 5z for under 700 bucks including heads. !!!!!. All factory parts! Oh, and I did it in four days. Peace.

    They just don't like your title. Forum etiquette is for titles to be meaningful. Maybe just change it to something like "Torque Convertor Bolt Trick!" It'll make searching on this topic easier for someone else in the future.

    Your advice is good. I'm going to try to remember it.

    Exactly.

    Were not English teachers here and yes working on a 4Runner will piss off all of us on occasion, just like any other vehicle. However if you want this post to be useful, put more thought in your writing.

    How can anyone search your advice in the future? The search results will just show ""READ THIS".

    Try to space and create a paragraph.

    Also,

    The thread title is like the sign a homeless guy by the freeway entrance carries around. It says "I bet you read this." No one wants to when you word it like you did.
