Just did the drivers side on my "new" 1998 Celica Convertible, MANY thanks for this thread!

I did motors on my 1995 (sold it a year ago and missed it up till last week when the new kid came home with me) and ordered used motors off E-bay for way too much $$. Looking at the parts left from the motor I disassembled to try and fix it I can see that it was the pin that time as well. I may fix that one for a spare if I can get the pinion off the motor shaft without breaking the aluminum plate for the planetary gearbox. No room to get a pinion puller in there that I've found...

This time it was a three hour fix (mostly getting too the motor) and included replacing the rear speakers. Had to drill the old pin out, it broke off both sides but the bit in the center was not moving...
