Chris.QCR Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hey OSers ! Anyone on here changed a starter motor on a Mark X ? 2.5L V6 ? Ive got it jacked up on stands on the driveway and ive located the starter motor but it seems like its in a tricky spot. Its the first job on this car ive encountered ever that I dont think I can fix myself but if you have any advice that would be appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just checked the repair manual. It says to remove the left exhaust manifold first. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 And now the Alternator has decided to have a go at failing. Any chance of Toyota Hooks ups out there in the land of OS Gcs ? @AllTorque ? Many thanks / beers or great baking in exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Put your chassis number in here to find the genuine part number and go from there. http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 If you know any auto sparkies, (they don't deal with people who don't have a trade account full stop) get them to try Pan Pacific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hey @DeyonP We attached heaps of 1/2 " extensions onto the ratchet and universals and got to the bolts that way. Then lots of wriggling the starter motor itself out the back to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
