All this talk about the pic, I thought I would copy it here:

I've never heard of a FJ40/55 alternator not being able to run the AC. I would get a FJ60 style internal regulator style and run the charge directly to the battery. You will need an aftermarket amp gauge but I run this style on my 40 and 60 (of course) and it has an AC. Keep reading. Your...

I remember when I used to think taking this piece out/in was difficult

Related question. Should I use heavier grease on the pinion gear that is obviously not plastic and has much larger teeth?3 Oz Synthetic Grease

I used the same Super Lube. The company states it can be used for wheel bearing grease.

Another question. Should I be able to spin the motor shaft with the motor installed ? Seems I can spin a whole turn before it engages. I dont wanna brake a finger here when I take off the vice grips... Seems there's only one way to assemble this thing

I'm not sure. Report back.

Gear lash. One turn doesn’t really equate to much movement between the worm and the gear. Don’t think the FSM is going to specify.

Back at it again . I tapped one of the mechanism mount holes to an M7 and chased the others so I can throw out these sheet metal screws(reported earlier they were wood screws). Bench tested the mechanism w the new gear and seems to work well. Next challenge will be getting the dash switch to operate the window once its remounted. Scored new junction block and key courtesy @ToyotaMatt too!
@RUSH55 correct on the gear lash
here's a vid of the bench test mechanism test

Very nice. Ever since I bought my pig I have been pleasantly surprised that Toyota still carries that junction block. One of the first things I bought.
