• Q: How to reassemble the starter motor on 2008 Toyota Camry?

  A: Reassemble the starter motor of the 2AZ-FE engine by applying high-temperature grease to the planetary gears and pin parts of the planetary shaft before installing 3 planetary gears to the motor terminal starter kit. High-temperature grease should be applied to both plate washers and the armature shaft before installing the starter armature assembly to the starter commutator end frame assembly. Install the plate washer with new snap ring by using snap ring pliers while checking ring length using vernier calipers to avoid going above 5.0 mm (0.197 in.); exchange snap ring with replacement if measurement shows high value. The starter armature plate goes inside the starter yoke assembly after aligning its claw to the assembly groove while the starter commutator end frame cover is installed onto the starter commutator end frame assembly. Carefully install the starter commutator end frame assembly while aligning its rubber portion with the starter yoke assembly groove because the interaction between the magnet and the armature may occur at this point. Prepare the claw from the starter yoke and position it into the groove of the motor terminal starter kit before tightening it with two through bolts by 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf). When performing repairs on the start kit you should use high-temperature grease to cover the plunger as well as the hook before placing the plunger hook onto the drive lever hook. Afterward you can install the plunger together with its return spring. Finish the repair service starter kit installation by using 2 screws that reach 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf) torque when tightened and then connect the lead wire to terminal C while tightening the nut to 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf).
