thanks,the heater was always on when we picked up car.when a/c man installed new compressor n valve,he had to leave heater hose disconnected n if son wants heat ,he attatches hose under bonnet.does that sound like a heater core problem still ? n shudnt the guy have checked this when he first looked at it?or while he was in there-or is heater core located away from compressor n valve?

Is there anyone here how has a predrilled socket i can buy off of them. I dont really feel like going through the hassel of making one if someone has one they are not using.

This may be an alternative way to modify the socket; I used a hand held angle grinder with the socket clamped in a vice to grind down the socket to the required length. Depending on the thickness of your wrench this should give you just enough room to clear the firewall/bulkhead.

Try this link http://www.toyodiy.com click parts reference, select your car, enter your Vin # or follow the instructions. Let us know how you get on. Dont get confused with figure item numbers and Toyota part numbers. The Toyota part numbers should be the same world wide.

I wondered what happened to the diagrams, I've just seen this on toyodiy site

The diagrams are no longer available on this site. For reasons that are beyond our comprehension, Toyota Motor Sales Inc. kept harrassing our ISP about them. It seems that they are really interested in quick profits from new car sales, so it is in their best interest that old cars fall apart asap.
The progress of course cannot be stopped, and the diagrams are available on numerous other websites around the world, so we feel this change will not have any significant negative impact on Toyota DIY-ers.
