How do I change the starter on a 1999 4runner.?

I dont want to spend the money on a munual, does anyone know of a website that gives you a step by step breakdown for free.How do I change the starter on a 1999 4runner.?
AutoZone will probably give you the procedures when you buy a starter, if you really need one.



I am assuming you know where the starter is and what it looks like. Remove the positive (red) cable from the battery. Then remove (and mark) the wires from the starter. It will likely have 2-4 bolts holding it on. Remove these bolts, and pull the starter forward. It should come right out. Take it and have it tested before you buy a new one; sometimes that isn't really the problem. Installation is the reverse. When you put the starter into the hole, you may have to turn it slightly to engage the gears.



Good luck!How do I change the starter on a 1999 4runner.?
There are no web sites, but you can try your local library. they may have what you need for free. First disconnect the neg. side of the battery as this is the ground side first. when you buy the starter buy a good one and then ask for some instruction to install. Some may be in the box, but as mentioned have your old one tested first. This is free. When installing do not over tighten the electrical connections as these are soft metal. Go slow and mark you wires. Be prepared to get greasy as starters being at the bottom are usually a mess.
