QuestionI am preparing to replace the starter on our 1995 Toyota V6 4Runner. Could you provide me with some instructions as to the removal procedure of the starter?
AnswerIf it's 2WD it's not that hard, remove the front rock guard, remove the neg. battery terminal, on the starter, remove the 12mm nut for the battery cable and the small black and white wire, there are two 14mm nuts holding the starter on, I don't remember if both are to the front, I know the bottom one is on the front, the top one may be on the rear of the bellhousing, you need a 14mm swivel socket and a long extension to reach the nuts, once loosened, the starter can be removed out the bottom.
If it is 4x4 the best way is to remove the right front wheel and remove the inner fender linings, there should be a rubber cover attached to a metal plate(10mm bolts)remove them, the starter has to come through this opening, it's the only way, the front axle won't let it come through the bottom.
