I got to say man, your rust makes me feel better about mine
Lol
Just did this job.Great video but don’t need to mess with front drive axle or even remove motor mount.Just disconnect the solenoid from the starter once you disconnect the wiring and drop the starter down.Starter will drop right out on front side of oil pan and frame.FYI: Make sure once you fish the starter back up above the axle and are ready to put solenoid back on that you make sure plunger on solenoid is locked into the forks on starter.DONT just push solenoid onto stater and think it’s good.
If installed correctly you should be able to pull on solenoid and it will not disconnect from starter because plunger is locked into the forks.Hope this helps.Still a pain of a job to do but saves a lot of labor.
Great video! Save me a lot of time by watching this video!
Thank you for this video. There is no way I would have gotten my starter changed without the detail you provided. I definitely didn't want to remove my manifold so this was perfect. I also took off the transmission cooler ports for more room for my hands.
Great video , starter ain't playing around
I helped a friend replace his starter on a 4x2 2009 Tundra XSP a couple of days ago. We did not remove the trans oil cooler hoses. We just removed the bolt from the hose bracket in order to move them out of the way to access the starter bolts. His trick lives in NW Florida so there isn't any rust on the undercarriage. The old starter was wedged in there really tight and nit that easy to remove but the new OEM starter is a inch or so shorter and a smaller diameter which made it easier to get into place. We should have removed the heat shield like you did and it would have shortened our time. Since it was his truck and he did most of the work I just handed him tools and was there for support. I would have done some things differently if I was working on it alone but it's done and he's happy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is an excellent video but now I'm certain I'm paying the dealer to replace my starter haha.
I changed my 07 Tundra 4x4 5.7 starter. I removed heat shields and bolts holding tranny cooler lines. Then, I removed starter mounting bolts and wiring. I dropped starter and rotated to remove the solenoid mounting nuts. Removed started down and out the rear next to the tranny cooler lines. Installed in reverse....worked great. You will need to feel the solenoid nuts because there will not be enough room to see the parts. Dont drain any fluids or remove the manifold or driveshafts....works great!!!!
Gonna give this a shot. My only concern is the install
Man this comment helps out a lot.. give me courage that I can do this as well..
So you didn't split the ball joint?
I got it out this way but without taking the solenoid out or messing with fluid. Just needed play in the coolant lines. Had to do a lot of twisting and turning and mashing of the coolant hoses, but got it out and back in was easier. Best to get that starter heat shield on just before bolting starter on. And getting the top starter bolt was very tough, needed a long wrench or the old wrench on wrench trick. Took me 6hrs, but I wasn’t in a hurry and watched different videos in between steps.
Awesome video...really helps how to do the starter on the Tundra 4x4. Also bud...just move down south..lol that rust is crazy...
Guys I removed rhe started mounting bolts than took the silenoid off the started and installed in reverse........it worked great.
Excelent video thanks bro
Yes ! Of course & thank u upon opportunity in hand, appreciate by many, for those who make it possible in order have research availability.
Damn man, seeing all that rust makes feel lucky to live out of the rust belt.
I highly recommend to go Toyota OEM starter instead aftermarket starter due major repairs
Dang all that to change a starter. Changed my mind been looking at 07 tundra .
There's 2 stubs where battery cable could go on back of starter w/same size to opening on cable end. which is the correct? elaborate please!
I did all steps and cannot get the differential to go back in the axle. Any tips?
Wait till you replace the Toyota V8 starter in the middle under the manifold
I like how you said oh my god! I thinking same. When u said remove bracket I was like its rusted into just grab it and it should fall apart. This is total rust bucket! Makes me think of the cartoon Cars the rusty character
I was thinking you going break the knuckle when you hit it
Toyota used to tell you to remove the right side exhaust manifold too.
He was supposed to do that. The service data says to anyway. But he mentioned he wanted to do it without removing the exhaust. I don’t blame him.
So how much “actual “ tome did that take. I’ve seen other videos and 4 hours on the low side. That’s IF you have all the tools and a lift, and no unexpected surprises. So call it 8.
How to replace the starter wires.
Should it be difficult getting the axle back into the diff? Mine is not sliding right back in there as yours did
how’d you go about fixing this, i got the same problem
But why!?
Why did Toyota make it so complicated? They could have put that starter anywhere along the flywheel. Why hide it behind so much other crap?
Nissan politely hid theirs under the freaking intake manifold. Why I didn't buy one even though they were a little less expensive at the time.
1st Gen v8s were under the intake manifold
I would puke if my tundra had that much rust
I'll pay for someone to do this.
I was quoted $1024 to get it done
How much should this cost at a repair shop or dealer
Also vs the manufacturer recommended method of removing the exhaust manifold
1300-1500
One💪and one 🦵.
$1200 just labor at Toyota starter $254
My buddy paid $2,000 to have his replaced. 😮
Looks like it would have been easier to remove the exhaust manifold at that point.
Would have been nice for newbies to include the tool list and sizes, then they can choose between Harbor Freight and $$nap-China.
If you need a tool list.. you should not be doing this starter project.
Skip removing ball joint and slipping axle out and just remove the seleniod from starter then reinstall once it's up above the frame.
Otherwise follow everything else exactly.
I did that. I still had many problems and it took me 5 days! (About 20 hrs or so actual.time working). Getting the original starter out took me over 8 hrs! When I removed the coolant hoses that leaked all over because I didn't have a good way to seal it the first time. The solenoid is actually extremely hard to attach the wires to reaching behind the exhaust manifold. The new starter didn't work so I had to take it out and buy another one! After doing the job over and over so many times I finally got kind of fast at it!
Wrong!!!
@@adamr8628 OEM starter? You also have to hook the plunger on the solenoid to the slot in the fulcrum when you reinstall it. It would be wiser to leave it intact so you avoid the possibility of not reinstalling the solenoid properly.
UGH!!! I HATE working on rusty junk!! Even worse? Working on rusty cow dung saturated junk!!! Used to work on a feedlots trucks. My dad told the bossman, it would be an additional charge to steam clean the cow crap off the trucks engines, trans. etc. He aved himself the money and bought a steam cleaner and would send us the now clean trucks, either driven in or towed, big trucks sometimes too.
That poor truck.
Just sell it!!!@
One of my former coworkers sold his before it needed a starter replacement. I wouldn't go that far personally.
Scotty Kilmer said just get f150 instead
Haha. Because starters never go out? Or is it just because it's easier access to replace a starter? I'd rather have a vehicle that's more reliable overall. Engine and transmission, etc are typically going to last a whole lot longer on the Toyota. I drove other vehicles for 35 years and just the last few years I've owned Toyota. I got tired of working on vehicles so much!
Scotty is all about CZcams click bait...Yellow journalism at its best....
@@adamr8628 The starter is a lot easier to replace on the F150. It's a good truck overall but not everyone wants a Ford.
Sorry but that is just way too much hogwash just to change a starter. There is no logical reason to have to do that much stuff to change a starter. As I just did a starter on a 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5, that had a book time of 4.5 hours that took me 2 hours to do and that was still 1.5 hours longer than it should take. So now I understand why Toyota has the reputation of being so dependable. It’s because it working on one takes 10 times longer to fix then any other vehicle on the road, so not even the Japanese want to spend that much time and effort to fix what they over engineered.
