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

  A: Start the reassembly of the starter motor through attachment of the starter armature assembly followed by bearing lubrication before mounting it on the starter yoke. Start by installing the answer brush holder assembly using this sequence: apply a new O-ring on the starter yoke assembly groove followed by placing the brush holder on the armature until successful insertion of four brushes with a screwdriver. Screw 2 fasteners to the commutator end frame while tightening them to reach 3.8 Nm (39 kgf-cm, 34 in-lbf). The installation of the magnet starter switch assembly starts with a lubricated steel ball insertion into the clutch shaft hole followed by lubricating pieces (2) through (5) and their installation onto the starter drive housing. Secure the magnet starter switch using 2 screws which should be torqued to 9.3 Nm (95 kgf-cm, 82 in-lbf). To install the starter yoke assembly, first put a new O-ring on the starter yoke groove then position its key into the magnet starter switch groove before tightening the two through bolts that secure the starter yoke and armature to 9.3 Nm (95 kgf-cm, 82 in-lbf). Complete the wiring process by using a nut and torquing it to 5.9 Nm (60 kgf-cm, 52 in-lbf) at terminal C.
