On my 99 Tacoma, the upstream O2 sensor's wiring connector is mounted
above the transmission, making it difficult to disconnect. Any techs
here got any tips on this? I'm thinking about a crowfoot wrench to
remove the harness mounting clip, possibly allowing me to get a better
grip on the connector, or maybe removing the crossmember supports to
drop the trans a couple of inches. I've searched this group's
archives, but my little problem seems to be all my own. Tom

Never mind. I was able to drop the transmission slightly and could
finally reach the connector. Thanks, anyway. Tom

be glad you're not changing starters on a mk 3 supra.
it can't be reached from underneath and from the top, a wrench will only turn
1/8" at a time. i finally welded a socket wrench to a steel rod so i could go
a full 1/4".
