I am working tonight on trying to replace the starter on my 2010 SR5.
I have everything off except the top bolt on the back of the starter and the front bolt on the black plastic cap but I think I can solve this by trying more wrench combinations until I can reach it (or at least getting the starter bolt off then rotating it so I can reach the plastic cap bolt). I am working from the side and below with my skid plates removed (I have the RCI package).
I just want to make sure I can bring this out in the space above the frame and around the steering column (behind drivers side tire). I have the brake line bracket bolts removed, so it can be pushed as far forward as possible. I have found a couple of 4th gen videos on Youtube and there seems to a little more room in that space vs. the 5th gen. I am thinking the 2010 is pretty close to the later 4th gens that this will work the same.
Has anyone tackled this?? I searched the forum but only found 3rd/4th gen write-ups.
