Me: Well, shit. I need a tool to hold the cam gears to unbolt them.

AlsoMe: *looks at the 3D printer* ...but maybe I can use the old cam belt as a strap-wrench?

AlsoAlsoMe: Man, there's no way this is gonna work.

AlsoAlsoAlsoMe: But what the fuck, let's try it anyway.

Slow progress on the Cappuccino.

Belt and tensioner pulled off. They look practically new, certainly not as old the service sticker implied.

Leaky front main seal replaced, pretty sure that was original to the car.

This super satisfying.

Finally got the front set of the Cappuccino blown apart enough that I can start to…blow it apart even more.

This would be a lot easier if the car wasn’t equipped with AC. The AC lines murder tool access.

For sure, the optics are shit but consider that historically, Toyota has donated pretty much equally to both major US parties, buttering their bread on both sides.

Corporations should be banned from donating to candidates and PACs.
