How do you remove a starter from a '98 Toyota Corolla?

Are you sitting down? If the bottom bolt is not there then the bolt is coming into the starter from the inside of the transaxal housing whick means a it's a CVCC type engine. Not sure if you have to pull the engine my accord's starter just went out and this is what I found by feeling no bolt on the bottom mount and sticking a pensicle in there and finding something blocking. The Chilton book that I have shows a pic of the bolt inside the houseing. I'm gona get durnk good luck

The other bolt is behind the stabelizer bar. if your hands and arms are small enough you can get behind it with a rachet wrench and not have to remove the stabelizer bar. It's the upper bolt on the short end of the stabelizer.

there's a bolt on the right front side and one from behind on the left side. Get the new one, look at it, make sure it matches the one that's in there, the bolt from the back is a little tricky, but you can get to it. I had to remove a stabilizer bar thingy to get a wrench and my arm in there. Mine's an 82 Honda accord 3 door hatch back, just swapped it out a month ago.

while looking at ste starter motor from the side of the car stick your left hand around past the upper bolt of the stabalizer bar you willm find a bolt use a # 14 open end wrench it will take time but i did it cool

How do you disarm security alarm on 1989 Toyota Cressida?

Asked by Wiki User

depending on what you mean by disarm the car alarm, it may be as simple as putting the key in either the front driver or front passenger door and turning towards the rear of the car once or twice. the driver door keyhole on my 93 no longer works to disarm, so i use the front passenger door.

How do you dismantle a 1990 Toyota Cressida differential?

if you plan on fixing it and you're not really good with this kind of stuff don't do it. if its just for fun or you're good with this have fun;)

firstly, you'll need the following tools:

-impact hammer

-30mm socket (1/2" drive preferably)

-socket for bolts on back plate (12mm i think)

-14mm socket for bearing caps

-chain or a couple pry bars

-hammer

-brass punch with a fairly flat end, no wider than about 3/4". even steel is ok if you're careful.

-chisel, dremel, or other cutting tool

-oil seal puller

-dial indicator

-dial indicator stand

alright fun time. first we need to find the backlash of the ring gear to the pinion gear. the easiest way to explain the backlash is that its the play or space between the ring and pinion gears, should be around 0.005-0.007", not too much. remove all bolts on the back inspection plate and gently tap it off with your hammer and punch or bar. measure using the dial indicator and stand, gently rock the ring gear back and fouth to get the reading while holding the pinion. unless the carrier bearings on the ring gear are shot, you want to return the gears to the same backlash on reassembly. the input probe or plunger of your dial indicator (depending on type) should be perpendicular to the face of one of the teeth of the ring gear.

next take the drive pinions off. unlike north American diffs, imports use snap rings. the way to get them off is to be rough unfortunately. use your pry bars and slip them under each pinion flange. hammer like theres no tomorrow and they will pop out. alternatively attach a chain to each of them (threaded studs should still be there) using washers and a nut and lift the diff up and shake it hard. **do this on grass and steel toed boots/shoes are a MUST** mark which pinion is which side and set them aside. remove the snap rings and toss them, also junk now.

now remove the bearing caps from the back of the diff. mark which one came from where and put them aside. they're torqued on to 54 ft-lbs so either use the impact wrench or a good breaker bar for that.

look in the holes where the drive pinions were that you just pulled out. see the yellow coloured plates with a toothed hole in them? those are shims. *gently* tap one of them out towards the back with your brass punch and hammer. mark which side it belongs to. the ring gear and case assembly should come out by hand now that a shim and the bearing caps are removed.

**if you're reusing those carrier bearings, you MUST mark which bearing race (ring) goes where!! to mix them up can be dangerous!!**

now we need the pinion off. theres an indented part of the big nut on the pinion, called 'staked'. cut that away with the dremel, chisel, whatever. be careful not to damage the threads on the steel shaft underneath.

take your impact gun and the 30mm socket and pop the bolt off, hold the pinion with your hand and give it a few short bursts to avoid spinning the diff.

toss the nut away, its useless now. the pinion flange should pull right off pretty easily. theres a metal plate underneath on top of the outer pinion bearing, it will come right out. that's the oil slinger, put it aside with the pinion.

now put the diff up on the worktable so its resting on its back end (with the back plate removed still of course). put several thick rags in the bottom on your workbench. also, you can alternatively hold the back of your pinion. its easier with a friend. take your brass punch and make sure its contacting only the drilled middle of the pinion. pound the pinion out! BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE THREADS!! if you do (like i did) you'll need to find an M20 x 1.5 metric tapping die.

you'll notice a crushed sleeve in there. that's just as the name implies, a crush sleeve. VERY important for the life of your pinion bearings. toss that away, they can only be used once. the pinion bearing races can be removed with your punch and hammer, take your time. again label if you're reusing - even though they're hard to confuse as they're different sizes.

there you go, apart. if you want to remove the ring gear, use your punch or a screwdriver to break the lock plates on the bolts on the case (you'll see what i mean) and toss them away. remove the bolts with the impact gun.

inspect for damage to your bearing rollers...very important! any pitting, nasty scratching, or otherwise and that bearing should be replaced.

if you can follow it this far, you know what you're doing just fine. if not, take your time, research and do it slowly. check out www.gearinstalls.com, and search for the supra mk3 TSRM as the mk3 supra has the same diff as the cressidas.

best of luck, its not the easiest job but not bad once you figure it out.

How to change starter on 99 Corolla?

User Avatar

Asked by Kamenko

NOTE: Two different engines are available for 1999 Corolla, so this is instruction for the 12V/1.4KW starter, which is on the front of the engine. It will take 2 to 3 hours to replace the starter, provided you have the right tools. I suggest you have an assistant and these instructions by your side. You will have to unscrew 9 bolts, 1 nut, disconnect two switches, and loosen a clamp. TOOLS: Car jack; Wrenches and ratchets sizes 10mm, 13mm, 14mm; Phillips screwdriver Step 1: Disconnect the battery. Unscrew the protective plastic cover under the engine. Step 2: Remove the air-filter assembly including the air-intake elbow.There are 4 bolts and one plastic fastener to be removed in total with air-filter assembly. Unclip the air-filter box, remove the actual air-filter, and you will see three (3) bolts you need to unscrew. On the outside of the box towards the windshield, you will see the fourth bolt holding several wires to the air-filter box. Disconnect it. Towards the front of the engine, you will see a small black, plastic ring holding a battery wire. This ring can pop open, so play with it and open it so that you can move the assembly. Final step is to remove the air-intake elbow from the engine. Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the fastener holding the air-intake hose to the engine. Slip the hose off its terminal and move the whole air-filter assembly off to the side. The second starter bolt becomes accessible only after the air-filter assembly has been moved off to the side. Step 3: Disconnect the two starter switches Since you are now lying below the car, looking up, you will notice two switches on the starter [There is a third switch on the oil filter, which you may want to disconnect while working to prevent a potential tare]. Disconnect the small wire switch first; by pulling on it, (it slides out). The larger wire switch does NOT slide out. First, clip-off the plastic cover by pulling on it with your index finger nail. As it clicks open, nut will appear, holding the main wire to the starter. Unscrew the nut, and disconnect the wire (ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE TOUCHING THIS NUT). Step 4: Unscrew the 2 bolts and remove the starter The first starter bolt is accessible from the bottom, so right after disconnecting the switches, apply a 14mm wrench, and unscrew the bolt. The second bolt is accessible from the top of the engine, only after the air-filter assembly is off to the side. Locate the bolt by touch or by using a mirror and unscrew it. DO NOT REMOVE THIS BOLT COMPLETELY, as it is very hard to access! Remove starter motor from the BOTTOM of the car. Be patient and gentle, as there is very little room to operate. I did it last week, so it can be done! Step 4: Reinstall the removed parts (Opposite of removal)

  1. Remove the fuse block from behind the passenger\'s side headlight.
  2. Remove the battery from behind the driver side headlight.
  3. Next you will need to remove the bumper cover.
  4. Remove the two 10MM bolts from the top of the cover between the headlights.
  5. Pry the clip in the middle up with a screwdriver. It\'s right in front of the hood latch.
  6. There are two bolts on the bumper cover ends at the wheel opening that need to be removed. One\'s on the top of the wheel opening and one is located on the bottom of the bumper cover.
  7. There are also 2-3 clips under the bumper cover in front of the car that need to be removed.
  8. Remove the front bumper cover.
  9. There\'s a screw on the top of the parking light on both sides that need to be removed.
  10. With the parking lights out, now remove the 3 bolts that hold the main beams in place.

An instructional video has also been included to show this entire procedure in great detail.

How do you change a dash light for a 1998 Corolla?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, I have to assume the question refers to that part of the dash where the speedometer and fuel gauge are. Now look above those dials for two screws holding the trim piece in place and remove them. Gently pull the trim piece out and work it past and above the steering wheel. Then look for three screws holding the gauge box in place (one on top and two at the bottom on either side). A magnetic phillips-head screw driver works best here. After removing a total of five screws, you've finished the hard part. Now bring the gauge box forward (wire harness and all) and flip towards you. You'll see three BIG black twist caps that hold the bulbs and a bunch of SMALL twist caps for the other bulbs that probably aren't causing you any trouble. Just make 1/4 turns to remove the bulbs from the panel. The bulbs pull straight out of their holders for replacement.

Hope this helped.

Where is the thermostat located on a 1991 Toyota Corolla?

Asked by Wiki User

drivers side behind distributor

I just changed it... It really below the distributor.

1.) Locate the distributor box.. its the box with wires attached to engine with cables that terminate into a box.

2.) Under that box you will see a bunch of bolts... Two of those bolts are attached to a smaller housing ... That's the thermostat housing.

Hint. Remove the air filter box to make an easier workspace.

How to remove a starter in 1999 Toyota Corolla?

Asked by Wiki User

The biggest thing will be to locate the top bolt of the starter. The answer below is pretty good but make sure you take the battery off completely. Once the battery is off (and the air intake rubber hose is out of the way also) put your head where the battery was and shine light toward the engine, you should be able to locate the screw by looking toward the engine (screw can only be accessed with an extension, after you removed the starter leave the screw there so you won't have to try to guide it back in). The comments below were useful to me as well as the following link: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/pdf/Archive/Alt/alt.autos.toyota/2005-09/msg03706.pdf

ANSWER: First raise and secure the car, ramps work too. Disconnect the negative (ground) battery cable and insure that it does not touch the battery post during maint. Disconnect the top radiator hose from the radiator and fold it back out of the way. (You will lose a couple ounces of coolant.) Each cooling fan has an electrical connection. Disconnect these and remove the five bolts holding the shroud. Remove the fan/shroud assembly. There is a brace holding the intake to the engine, secured to it is the wiring harness for the starter. Remove the brace to make electrical connections easier later. Remove the plastic elbow from the intake and air box. The top starter bolt is behind the intake accessed by the removed elbow. The bottom bolt is visible on the starter. (I also removed another bolt near the bottom of the oil filter, but it may not be necesssary.) Rock the starter free and pull it up to the top of the radiator support. Disconnect the electrical connections. Installation is the reverse of removal. I replaced the contacts in the solenoid, a common problem to Nippondenso starters. I found the fix outlined on atleast two websites.

I just got done replacing my old starter and I'd like to say that taking out the fan shroud for the radiator is DRASTICALLY important. I had almost no room to take out the starter, and wiggled it around for about an hour when I left the fan shroud on. I still could not get it out, but after removing the fan shroud, which really just took unscrewing 5 tiny bolts and wiggling it out of the engine bay, I slid it between the lower coolant hose and the radiator and it squeaked out fine. Also, the upper radiator hose also must be disconnected to get the fan shroud out. I would definitely follow the above tutorial in getting the starter out. I followed it to a TEE and worked great.

Also, one more note, I had a hard time locating the starter considering I thought it was located on the back of the engine. It's below the intake pipes on the front of the engine. The reason you have to take out the elbow on the intake is because there is one screw that goes this way <======[] (Which is the one that you take out below where the elbow for the intake is) and the other which goes this way []========> is located from the bottom of the car. Hope this helps and gives some more clarity.I would suggest that some of these steps may be unnecessary, particularly removing the coolant hose and the fan shroud. I, too, noticed the procedure outlined on other websites, but those sites and the repair manual I own both say to remove the starter from the bottom of the car (after removing plastic shields), on models where the starter is in front of the engine. You should only have to remove the air cleaner assembly to remove the top bolt.
