How to remove and replace the Starter Motor on 2009 Toyota 4Runner?

Question

Accepted Answer

Disconnection of the negative battery terminal should be the first step before taking out and installing the starter motor for both 2WD and 4WD vehicles. In order to access the engine of 2WD vehicles you must remove its rear under cover assembly by disassembling 4 bolts and detach the No. 2 manifold stay through bolt unthreading. Safely disconnect the wire harness from the cylinder block through bolt removal followed by disconnecting terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly as well as nut removal before disconnecting wire harness from terminal 30 to remove the starter assembly using its 2 bolts. The engine rear under cover assembly can be removed from the 4WD system after disconnecting the negative battery terminal. First, disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (bank 2) connector then eliminate 2 bolts, 2 nuts and separate the No. 2 front exhaust pipe assembly along with 2 gaskets. You can remove the front fender rear splash shield LH by dislodging its 5 clips before you loosen bolt A and detach bolt B which will separate the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft sub-assembly. After disconnecting the terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly users should remove the nut and disconnect the wire harness from terminal 30 while taking out the starter assembly with its 2 bolts.
