1995 Toyota Corolla Replace the starter motor

Lift the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the air cleaner assembly and elbow.

Remove the two bolts holding the starter to the transmission. The top bolt is located under the air cleaner tube elbow and the other bolt, which is the bottom bolt, runs through the transmission bell housing into the starter.

Remove the starter through the bottom of the car. Rock the starter back and forth to break it loose and then withdraw it far enough to remove the electrical connections. Remove the electrical connections. Remove the small diameter wire first (it's the switched actuating wire). Remove the large diameter wire that goes to the solenoid (this is the wire that runs directly to the battery).

Install the new starter by connecting the electrical connectors first, then the bolts. Install the air cleaner and the other parts that were removed, and reconnect the negative battery terminal.

Thanks for the info. I am in Houston, it's too hot to work under the car! I will let the pro to take care of it. Have a nice day.
