Toyota Repair: changing starter, inner fender, battery connections


Question
what is the procedure for changing a starter on a 1994 toyota pickup 4x4 v-6 automatic?

Answer
Remove the front rock shield, remove the lower starter bolt from the front, you will need a long extension and a 14mm swivel socket, remove the battery connections at the battery, remove the 12mm connection at the starter and the small connector next to it, remove the upper 14mm bolt from the rear of the bell housing, take off the right front wheel, remove the inner fender panel and the rubber shield, the starter has to come out through this openening,remove the small heat shield from the exhaust manifold, you may have to bend some of the brake lines out of the way to get the starter out.
