This is such a real nice car - I almost felt guilty giving $400 for it. You have a great forum here. Thanks

use a long extension with a swivel socket, feed the socket above the motor mount from the front, you have to do this by feel. Not one of toyotas better designs.

I use the extension swivel trick with a box end on the other side to keep the nuts from moving.
