2008 Scion xB Starter Motor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to disassemble the starter motor on 2008 Scion xB?

  A: Disassembly of the starter motor requires users to first disconnect the lead wire from terminal C while removing 2 screws that secure the magnetic switch to the motor terminal starter kit and then removing the magnet switch body together with its return spring and plunger. You must pull out the starter yoke assembly after removing its two through bolts and extracting it from the starter commutator end frame assembly before separating the components widely. You must remove the starter armature plate from the starter yoke assembly before using a screwdriver to separate the starter commutator end frame cover. The starter armature assembly needs snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring together with plate washer so it can be extracted from the commutator end frame assembly. The motor terminal starter kit requires removal of its 3 planetary gears as the last step.
