Anybody out there with experience woking on Toyotas ? I'm trying
to get the starter out of my wife's 99 4Runner 4X4 . Got it unbolted
and off the motor , but can't figure out how to get it out . Tried
twisting , turning , rotating , flipping , and there just isn't any
way that I can see without either dropping the front drive axle or
possibly dropping the steering rack - it looks like it MIGHT come
out if I pull the oil line that's on top of the rack , but not sure
if that will give me enough clearance . I pulled off for now
because I was frustrated enough to start breaking things ...

This help??

Yes , it did thank you very much . I was so ****ed and frustrared I didn't
even think about checking the web ... the Chilton manual just says "slide
forward to remove" . I was trying to beat the rain (I didn't) , looks like
it'll br tomorrow before I get back on it . I'll have to figure out how to
get the tire off since I have it on ramps for underside clearance .
Hopefully my floor jack will go high enough .


The problem with Chilton manuals is, for example, when you're looking
how to remove the engine from- perhaps a '97 F-150, it will say
something along the lines of:

Carefully open your tool box, select a 10 mm wrench (this will be the
long thing with a claw on the end and a 10 stamped on it). Next, find
the hood release lever inside the car (bottom of dash just to left of
the steering wheel), carefully pull the lever toward you until it clicks
and hood pops up.

Then carefully insert your gloved hand under the front edge of the hood
to find the secondary release level. Push it gently to the left to free
the hood and slowly raise it.

Finally, take your 10mm wench in your left hand (claw forward), pick up
the other tools you need in your right hand, and remove the engine-
being careful not to let any coolant, oil, or gas spill onto the ground
and damage the environment....
