replacing starter

This a tough question to answer. It really depends on your experience and how comfortable you are working on your car. If you are equipped with a repair manual, like one from Chilton, Haynes, or AllData DIY, that will certainly tell the work required to do your starter. Why do you need to replace your starter? Is the battery fully charged and is it getting signal from the switch? I know the starter (internal) contacts are common on Toyota's but it's best to know for sure that it is your starter before spending the money.

i just replaced my starter.... the battery & tray, air box , speed control, and some wiring plugs have to be removed and disconnected , but it was smooth.. i removed the one tricky bolt from the starter with a flexible extension..i hope this helps ( remember to disconnect the battery first )
