PLEASE!!! I Need Help!

[Accipiter]

Can anyone help me with directions in getting the starter out of my '92 4-Runner? It's the 3.0L automatic transmission version. There is virtually no room to work, I got the one rear facing mounting bolt out, but the front facing bolt is impossible as far as I can tell. Help!!!!

according to the FSM both bolts face the same way, one above the other

I think there may be access to starter bolts via the wheel well.

you probably already figured the starter out, but my buddy is a toyota mechanic. i needed a 2 foot extension to mork ocer the front cv axle to reach the forward facing bolt. lots of fun, just did mine.

I've replace mine twice and yes... TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS. Even with the access hole in the fender well its tricky. Thank god a buddy of mine had a lift so I could reach up from the bottom. Its a bit of a brain teaser to get the old one out and the new one in. Just try to remember the sequence of how you got the old one out..

Good luck!
