No, you don't need any special tools. Put the bolt back on just a few threads so that if it flies off you don't get it in the nose.

Then, smack it from the back towards yourself while sitting in the seat. Left side, right side, left side, right side.. it'll take some time, but it will come off.

f****** special service tool lol maybe if your really nice they'll lend you one at the toyota dealership.. or they'll be pricks like they are to me at Cambridge toyota....

Speaking of which, you still have my 30mm 12 point bit.

Other than a transmission rebuild, I've done or been involved in pretty much everything you can do to a Matrix, and I've used exactly 0 SSTs.

That will be returned to you at 6:30pm tonight, wrote it on my hand so i dont forget :P
BTW, I got it. Thank you.
