Question
How do you remove the starter on a 1997 Toyota 4Runner?

Answer
If it's 2 wheel drive it's no so hard, both mounting bolts are on the backside of the bellhousing(14mm) you need a long enough extension and a swivel socket to remove them, but first disconnect the battery and the small connector on the solenoid then remove the 12mm nut on the positive battery cable on the starter and remove it, the starter will come through the bottom, if it is a 4x4 let me know it's a little more difficult.
