^Haha had a new one last week with a rooted diff, didn't leak oil tho.

Starion, On later injection the bolts that split it break off with little effort (no warning)

Non Starion, u12 Bluebirds 4wd turbo,(gtir pulsars) starter bolts, don't think starter is removeable without dropping gearbox.

I had one (or 4 to be exact) on my pajero, i had to remove my bull bar from the bumper, which there are 4 nuts and bolts holding it, a normal spanner dosnt fit in the little wedge to stop it spinning but when i got one in there holding it they are so tight that i ended up snapping 2 spanners. I had to resort to the universal shifter (angle grinder : D )

non-mitsi - the little nuts that hold the fan onto a Toyota 18RC - youve basically gotta be some sort of indian contortionist to get them off without dropping them
mitsi - flywheel bolts on a SOHC '63 that had been sitting under a tarp out in the weather for 6 months
