Toyota Repair: 99 4runner Starter removal, wheel drive models, starter removal


Question
I have removed the starter from my 1999 4runner but i cant find room to completly remove the starter. I realize the limited amount of room on the four wheel drive models and i am not sure of the easiest location. I am finding the steering rack and tranny dipstick tube in the way to remove the starter from the bottom, and exhaust manifold and brake lines in the way if brought threw the wheelwell. i have ran out of light and was wondering if the brake lines were on a bracket that i could remove for more room,or am i just missing something obvious in front of my face. Thank you for your time and any help will be much appreciated.

Answer
The starter will come through the fenderwell opening, I usually bend the sheet metal a little and bend the brake lines out of the way, it will still take a lot of turning and twisting and maybe a few band aids but it will eventually come ou through there,
