1999 Taco Prerunner , Just got thru putting the complete Old Man Emu`s Set on (Leif springs, Front and rear shocks, New shackles, Front and back brakes Complete with new rotors and Drums) All together, took a week at about 3 hrs a day. The very last thing I have to do is put in that stoopid starter. I have played with it for about a hour and still can`t figure out how the hades you get to the stinkin bolts. Is there a trick? It`s a Auto, so I`m dealin with tranny lines as well. I`ll be able to get it out if I figure how to get to the BOLTS!!!!!!!

Kmon gang....come clean.

Thanks OSU4Runner and Rocket.

I will get after it again tomorrow after work.

OSU4Runner

No problem!

Keep soaking those bolts with PB blaster........you should go out and soak them tonight, so it sits overnight

KdF

Finished!

Yes, I soaked them with Liquid WRENCH.

That was a absolute exercise in Madness, as It was a hell-of-a-way to put in a starter.

The only thing I regret is that I have no way to really tighten those bolts other than really snug.

Thanks.

Ya, I put thread lock on mine. They were thread locked originally, thats why mine were so hard to remove. Its a PITA, but its better then paying the labor for someone else to do it!
