hey, this is very cool! I worked as a dealership tech for 7 years and let me tell you, the manual that shows you where all the clips, screws and such are invaluable!!!!
Hopefully he will get his site fixed and we will be able to access it again.
awesome find!!!

haynes. and they totally suck compared to the real deal from the manufacture. I am still waiting to get into this site and see how good these are.

One the other hand, when you don't have any thing at all to go by, the haynes books are better than nothing.

I have a Bentley's for my car and it is quite detailed in how to take the car apart, do different maintenance procedures and such. Much better than some of the other manuals out there. It's the one that is recommended by VW for purchase.

If you can, make sure you get a good look inside to see how it's done. Or order the books from the manufacturer.

Ebay Motors is a good place to start.

Parts&Accessories -> Manuals&Literature -> Car&Truck -> Toyota

Look for "Repair Manual" or "factory repair manual"

I went onto www.installdr.com and had no problems. I guess the site is back online.

I found a very comprehensive guide for my altima, but it was only for installing a new radio, not for new speakers.

Great find though

Haynes _where_ the best, as it used to say on the back, ''every manual based on a complete stripdown'' etc, and they did, I have some old haynes manuals, every nut bolt and washer is removed, lots of pictures, hundreds of pages.

New haynes are referred to in the trade as 'the comic', every manual based on the words 'refer to dealer'

Thing is I cant understand why, it only takes a week tops to pull a car apart properly if you have 5 or 6 working on it.
