• Q: How to remove and install the starter motor for manual and automatic transaxles on 2007 Toyota Camry?

  A: Starting the breakdown of the starter motor involves disconnecting the negative battery cable before stripping the air cleaner components and old starter assembly. The process to remove the starter assembly in manual transaxle requires disconnecting the terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly and removing its nut while disconnecting the wire harness from terminal 30 followed by removal of 3 bolts and clutch flexible hose bracket and starter assembly. The automatic transaxle installation requires disconnecting terminal 50 from the starter assembly before removing the nut to detach the wire harness from terminal 30 followed by unbolted the 2 starter assembly screws. When installing the starter assembly with clutch flexible hose bracket in manual transaxle vehicles use three bolts for which torque Bolt A to 37 N.m (380 kgf.cm, 28 ft.lbf) and Bolt B to 12 N.m (120 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf). After this, attach wire harness to terminal 30, secure the nut, and place the terminal cap with 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf) torque while connecting terminal 50 connector to the starter assembly. The installation procedures for automatic transaxle require the starter assembly to be mounted with 37 N.m (380 kgf.cm, 28 ft.lbf) torque using 2 bolts while terminal 30 receives the wire harness followed by a nut installation and terminal cap attachment at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). Next, attach terminal 50 connector to the starter assembly. The installation sequence demands the combination of air cleaner case sub-assembly with air cleaner cap sub-assembly and air cleaner inlet assembly followed by reattachment of the cable to the negative battery terminal.
