How do you replace at 1998 Toyota Camry Starter?

Answer 1

Very easy to do. Open the hood and work over the engine, not underneath the car. 1.) Loosen the terminal connectors and remove the battery from the battery tray. 2.) Remove the three bolts in the bottom of the battery tray. These hold the cruise control module in place. You will need to move the cruise control module out of the way to get to the starter which is underneath and attached to the engine block. 3.) There are two connectors on the starter that need to be unattached. One is attached to the negative terminal on the battery, remove the bolt holding it onto the starter. The other connector simply needs to be unplugged. 4.) Remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the engine block. I believe these are 10mm bolts. Remove the old starter by pulling it out horizontally and up. It is tight but it will come out. 5.) Put new (rebuilt) starter in following the directions in reverse. Remember to get the core charge money back when you take the old starter back to auto parts dealer. SUGGESTION: The above answer was very helpful for me, but you may consider doing step 4 before step 3. Disconnecting the negative terminal from the old starter was very difficult due to the placement of the bolt. After I got the starter off the engine block the bolt is right there. It would have been impossible to reconnect the terminal to the new starter after it was bolted in place.
