Funny thing about 18mm... can't remember using one on any Toyota I have
serviced, or any other Japanese car I have worked on?

Other than 5 sided bolts on a VVT mechanism, and that "special" 12 point
socket for the head bolts, most all other fasteners seems pretty
conventional.

It takes a 17mm open end wrench. Some really cheap wrenches have
skinny enough jaws, otherwise you can do what I did and just buy a
halfway decent wrench and grind the jaws down.

Thanks, Steve. I figured I'd have to grind the wrench down, as nobody
seems to make one thin enough. !!

In my experience the Japanese use wrench sizes 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, and
larger. I have specialized in Asian vehicles since 1976 and don't
even own a 16 or 18 end wrench of socket....but who knows what
tomorrow will bring?????

Seatbelt mounting bolts on my '82 Corolla are 18mm head.
18mm spanners came in both my set of cheap Chinese spanners, and Dad's Aigo
set.
