Just go onto that website, pay $10 for a day and then download the files. But be sure you have hours to spend downloading it. It's not all in one file.

X2 Thats what I did. I would suggest you title each file with the name of what the repair is along with the page number (ie..Front pads replacement BE62). This way you can find things easier. I would also write down what you downloaded as after the first hour you won't remember. It takes hours but is worth it.

I started doing that too. it WILL take a long time for you do piece it together. I agree with BCP4. I hope to have both paper and PDF versions soon.

I combined the files by category using adobe acrobat. Basically it's like having the real book, except it's on the computer

Upwards of 4-6 hours. I dont remember but all I know was that it took a LONG time. there are so many files. I rather do that than cough up hundreds of bucks at the dealer. It takes a long time because you have to download files one by one.

I did it for the SC430. Now i have (3) 4" binders of shop manual. 3 freeking reams of paper! Wiring diagrams + everthing else. Plus I saved all the files to my computer and burned them to a DVD in case I loose a hard drive.
I also got all the TSB's there too! Great deal for $10 plus $25 for paper and an ink cartridge. This is a great late night project when there is nothing to do and nothing on TV,
