    Not here. IIRC, @nutzaboubolts 2 guys, though one is on camera in the majority of the videos, were Toyota dealership mechanics. The videos were of cars they had, namely 3rd Gen Prius. If you check out their channel they’ve done videos on quite a variety. Currently mostly about Toyota Sienna.

    Thanks for the video! Very good job!
    And thanks for NOT having and background music playing! (y)

    Is the clip on the inner side by the ac connector a push type, or do you have to rotate it
    with your scribe?
    And the green ones for the coolant hoses, they just slide to the side?

    Is there a hope-in-hell you could pull that pump out from below? I'm guessing not. :(

    Repair Manual says no.

    There’s 2 plastic clip on that side, one is the white clip, which you use a needle nose plier to pinch the inside to release it from the plastic bracket. The other one down by the hose that is black is the same as the wire harness clip from the top of the plastic bracket, you pull the clip up and pull the plastic clip out from the clip. Hopefully that’s what you’re talking about, if not, screen shot the image for me and I can answer it correctly.

    The green clip that holds the coolant hose in is a U shape type clip, where you use the pick to pull it out of the hose and then pull the hose out. Make sure to pull it straight out, it’ll lock in place so it won’t fall off, it’ll only go in and out one way. Sometimes you’ll have to use your middle finger to pry the ends of the U out to unclip it.

    Hope that helps.
