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

  A: You should start the starter motor assembly process by placing grease on the steel ball before mounting it to the starter drive housing. Then add grease to the magnet switch return spring and fit it onto the same housing. Reassemble the starter motor by adding grease to the starter clutch before installing it on the starter drive housing and adding grease to the starter idle gear clutch roller before its installation on the starter idle gear retainer. Following greasing of the starter idle gear retainer you should install it onto the starter idle gear pinion then apply grease to the starter idle gear pinion before installing it onto the starter drive housing. Secure 2 starter drive housing screws with a torque of 9.3 Nm which is equivalent to 95 kgf-cm and 82 in-lbf. The starting procedure for the starter armature assembly begins with bearing grease application before mounting it onto the starter yoke. To install the starter brush holder assembly place the component on the starter yoke and install the 4 brushes using a screwdriver then put a new O-ring on the field frame's groove while attaching the end frame with 2 screws. Begin by adding a fresh O-ring to the starter yoke groove then fit the key of the starter yoke into the magnet starter switch groove before tightening both through bolts to 9.3 Nm (95 kgf-cm, 82 in-lbf). The wire lead needs to be wired to terminal C before tightening the nut to 5.9 Nm (60 kgf-cm, 52 in-lbf).
