How to Replace T-Bar Seals the Easy Way - Toyota MR2

[@Mattboy300]

Thanks for this. Just sourced the seals from Japan, wanted to make sure I didn't break anything taking them off.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Happy to have helped 😊

[@linkindewey]

Thanks dude. I got my car a month ago and unfortunately I have to replace part. I was gonna go ahead and do it since I've done it on camaros and firebirds. But this video cleared any questions I had before starting. Thanks man.

[@julesf6307]

Really happy that you created this channel. Great video and montage!

[@curtissims8629]

[@gsrangelmon]

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

[@djbonkers]

Thanks for the video, Now to replace mine....

[@zygrot]

AvE would be proud of that ending.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

So happy someone got the AvE reference! :)

[@Lavos1999]

Scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned the AvE ref :)

[@projectadd7418]

Everyone should have AvE references!

[@CloudSpirals]

What’s the tool you were using to remove the clips?

[@michaelkim3432]

Got here via Jalopnik and have subscribed after binge watching all previous episodes! Bravo! Entertaining, smartly edited, and totally watchable! Love that you keep the episodes compact at < 10 min...any longer than that lets my mind start wandering off to other things. MR2 is a sentimental favorite of mine, so looking forward to seeing the end result. Were you previously a mechanic? On some steps you appear to be a novice, but other times it seems like you've done this many times before. Cheers!

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Thanks! Yeah, we feel 10 - 15 minutes is the sweet spot for our videos. We don't get enough done each week to warrant anything longer :) We're both 100% untrained amateurs, we've always worked on our own cars though, and we've learned loads from working on Misty. With this video I had already taken off the driver's side seal, so I had a good idea of what I was doing and had already figured out where you can take short cuts over the official Toyota method :)

[@steve9021oh]

I hope you are still around to answer...what is the tool called that looks like a crow bar? To remove the rubber clips? Looking for my first Mr2. Found one that leaks so i'm searching now for how and how much. THank you for the video!

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Can’t remember its exact name but if you search for a trim removal tool you should be able to find one, good luck with your MR2 👍

[@steve9021oh]

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness awesome!! Thank you so much for coming through! I dont know what i want to do for an MR2. Do i want a k24a2 of some sorts or do i go v6 with supercharger. I want a mid 11 car.....so many options! Any insight or advice?

[@TMRDAM]

Any advice on how to remove the central black trim piece outside of the t-bar?

[@mSierraEngineer]

Just stumbled accross your channel! Great job by the way, I've been looking for a guide for a while. When will you have the installation video up? **subscribed**

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Thanks! Installation video could be coming very soon, as we might be keeping the existing passenger side seal, as it looks to be in pretty good shape.

[@mSierraEngineer]

Great! Thanks for replying, have an awesome day!

[@EnglishMartialArts]

You should get a head mount and a GoPro for this sort of stuff. Keep up the good work mate, really enjoying watching. You make me want to do something similar.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Cheers! We've got a gopro type camera, tried it attached to a bike helmet for some POV filming but the results were wobbly and mildly nausea inducing (see episode 3) need to get a proper head strap and try it again :) Do it! I seem to remember you had a much loved MG F at one point, you can pick them up pretty cheap these days

[@EnglishMartialArts]

It's just possible I may have been searching for a project MGF... :)

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Yeah, go for it! Mid-engine rear wheel drive is always the best option :)

[@EnglishMartialArts]

Once I've persuaded herself I suspect I will... Now go record more stuff!

[@pwndizzlejc]

Where did you buy new seals? I need some myself

[@MrAlanRene]

Awesome video man!! Hi from Virginia USA.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Thanks from Devon, England 😄

[@markfriesen1435]

Do you have a source for your JDM power mirrors?

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

They pop up on ebay fairly often, MR MR2 is a good seller and usually has at least one set in stock - www.ebay.co.uk/usr/mr-mr2

[@john_p]

good old toyota .. always use a 10mm bolt where honda would use 6mm

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Gotta love the Japanese consistency. You can strip down most of the car with just a 10mm socket :)

[@Nemoticon]

...not even an old one! xD

[@alindayu]

so much work involved =(
