• Q: How to replace the starter motor for the Starter Assy on 2005 Toyota Solara?

  A: Checking the connector installation and accessory connections is necessary before starting the Starter Assy (2AZ-FE) motor replacement procedure. The maintenance procedure begins with the removal of the battery and battery tray followed by eliminating the air cleaner assembly and its bracket with assistance from 2 bolts. You have to disconnect the air cleaner inlet assembly from its 2 bolts before moving forward. After separating the starter wire with its nut and disconnecting the starter connector users can remove the starter through the removal of 2 bolts. Install the starter by threading in the two bolts according to their torque values of 39 Nm (398 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). Torque the starter nut to 13 Nm (130 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf) after reconnecting it to the wire then join the starter connector. The installation of the air cleaner bracket requires 2 bolts that reach 12 Nm (122 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf) torque specification and requires subsequent spin tightening of the air cleaner assembly to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf). Fasten the air cleaner inlet assembly by installing its 2 bolts to a torque value of 7.0 Nm (71 kgf.cm, 62 in.lbf). Complete the vacuum hose connection before installing the battery tray along with the battery which requires tightening battery clamp bolts at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf) while using the cables to connect battery terminals with 3.5 Nm (36 kgf.cm, 31 in.lbf).
