today went out to the truck and the starter wouldnt kick over

well today i was getting in my 01 tacoma v6 pre, starter took a dump ,well I had to go to work so i took out my L bar and beat it ,it started so i went to work and bought the rebuild kit for it at toyota , i took it apart and rebuild it and put it back in the truck , now its good as new ,wooohooo ,

 

Cool story bro!

But seriously, mine did that when it was cold. Replaced the plunger and it was perfect.

 

Lots of people don't realize you can rebuild these starters for cheap. Good job!

 

How hard was it to remove? It looks like a Pain in the ass to get out. How long it take to rebuild the solenoid.

 

parts cost me 40 bucks baby !!, pretty easy to do , dont need car lift , first take off negative battery cable , go to right side fender wel and loosen 12 mm nut on side of starter , and then unclip the plug under starter ,crawl underneath truck by trans and u will see 2 14mm bolt and loosen and your done , when u rebuild ur starter you pretty much just change the copper contacts inside , take ur plunger you will see copper around it and sand it down till you see it shine

 

o yea wen u get the starter loose you take it out from under truck not out the engine bay
