No tool at the auto parts store will fit the RTAB. So I guess I'm ordering the specialty tool and waiting for that.
On the other hand, the new starter for the Lexus should arrive at the auto parts store in a couple of hours. I've already got the old one off - it actually fired up this morning after cooling down overnight
But it definitely needs replacement. Starting it up early this morning, it sounded like an 100 yr old man wheezing for about 4 seconds before the engine finally cranked
