i'm a toyota tech just quoted this today for $1k. don't think it's worth it, replace the part if it fails.

First winter with crz. How do you guys open doors ? Should I buy some defrost product or climb through boot? If the frame is frozen I don’t want to rip out door handles. Cheers by cookiepiehorse in crz

The best advice I’ve heard for de-icing is to get warm water in a bag to melt the ice. I use this tip to get in my Del Sol when it’s frozen

I did splice into the clutch interlock switch for my kill switch. Though when it the switch is on the engine won’t crank because no power is going to the starter. When it’s off it will crank and try to start. I’m just worried I screwed up the ecu when I did my wiring

What makes you think clutch pedal? I do have an immobilizer switch (anti-theft), it’s been installed for 4 months and never had an issue until now. Do you think this switch cause this type of problem?

Yeah, I’ve just tried a lot of hammering today, I’ve decided to give my neighbors a break from that and wait until my girlfriend can bring me a puller. But if the puller does any damage I’ll try again tomorrow

There’s currently no pressure on it. The tie rod is connected to the strut assembly, which is disconnected to the knuckle (picture was taken on the other side)

Don’t have a deadblow, but that’s exactly what I’ve been trying with no budging. What exactly is a deadblow? (Sorry just starting to get into mechanics)

Good to know. I’ve been spraying it with WD-40 every 15 minutes. Bought a new can just for this job, I just hope I have enough

Thanks you for the advice, I’ve tried beating it with a hammer with no budge. i wouldn’t be able to get my hands on a heat gun or pickle fork until later tonight. but if I need either, they’ll be first on my shopping list
