2004 Toyota Corolla Starter Motor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to replace the starter motor on 2004 Toyota Corolla?

  A: The first step to start replacement is disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. The removal process begins with taking off the right-hand side engine under cover. The starter assembly removal process requires disconnecting the starter connector followed by opening the terminal cover before removing the starter wire nut and then finally removing the two bolts which extract the starter. Before final assembly of the starter engine bolts should achieve 37 Nm (378 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf) torque while the nut requires 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf). The engine under cover on the right-hand side needs to be reinstalled after installation before connecting the battery negative terminal at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf).
