How to change the starter of my Toyota Ft-hs?

Before starting operations, check that you have the necessary tools. If you wish to perform such a procedure you will necessarily need a filled toolbox, your jack, your wire brush and a pair of candles.

Remove the old starter

So, if you want to do this procedure, what is important turns out to be really memorizing the positions, for the cables for example. You can spot them using a marker if that helps.

  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery from this Toyota Ft-hs.
  • If ever accessing the starter from above is a bit too complex, you can use the jack stands to access it from below.
  • Disconnect each of the supplies going to the starter
  • Jack up the motor in case the motor wobbles a little.
  • Disassemble all the fixings and memorize the positions
  • Remove the starter
  • Set aside the mounting base, as it will not always be sold with the starter to be mounted
  • Polish the pods which will sometimes be oxidized using a brush
