Unfortunately, I am a visual guy. I'm also not a tool guy so visuals
help.
If I asked you politely, would you please be so kind as to find an
imagine on Google images so I can see what your'e referring too?
I'd so appreciate it and probably others on here would as well.
Thanks! |

I use a tight quarters ratchet screwdriver. It is very thin and not
expensive at all. I got mine from Snap On but I think that I've seen
them in the Craftsman line. >> Stay informed about: TPS adjust/removal 88 Celica 3SFE |

You can try a stubby Phillips screwdriver, the tool that Hachiroku posted,
or a Phillips bit in a 3/16" socket in a quarter inch drive ratchet.

Hey!!
I went the opposite direction here on my 86 pickup.
I replaced the philips screws with allen head screws.

It's the craftsman model. It will work just as well as a snap on for far
less money. >> Stay informed about: TPS adjust/removal 88 Celica 3SFE |
