Starter Motor Removal  

Don't worry about how hard to replace the starter. I owned numerous Lexuses, 2012 IS250, 2001 and 2006 GS300, 2015 LS460 and now 2006 SC430 and never experience replacing or repairing starter. Starter actually will last forever but of course it will eventually will break in a certain period of time but definitely will last if not for decades or it might last the lifetime of the car, just like my 2001 GS300 that already have 357,000 miles on it but starter still in good condition. As you can see in the video, starter was removed not because the wear and tear of the starter but it broke because of the driver's error. The gears were damaged because the engine already running and someone attempted to restart it again, what do you think will happen to the starter of course gears will break and not only starter's gears but also the fly wheel's gears will break as well.

Yeah, and mine was done once at 80k, and needed to be replaced again at 130k. Tbh wasn't too bad, the UR engines are way worse having to remove the exhaust manifold to get that starter out. Ntm the valley leaks like crazy on those and the direct injectors crack, and to fix that leak you need to pull the whole front timing cover due to one pipe. Definitely prefer the UZ's out of most V engines from Toyota, the inline Toyota engines are best for serviceability tho.

You already know! The ISF is even tighter. I would remove the subframe for more access! But even those with repetition become easier over time! Thanks for watching!

Thats whats up! I like to change them as a Preventative maintenance since im already there

Definitely will help as a reference for a knock sensor replacement. All i can add is a suggestion to replace the knock sensor sub-harness/ or connectors for the knock sensors while you are there.

You already know!

What kind of tools are we talking about?

I've seen that picture. That's unfortunate when it comes to replacement.

Its on the lexus sc400’s

Email for more information.

Great car!

Yeah, it was a bad double whammy. Thanks for the support. i appreciate it!

Hi I used a Lexus denso reman purchased from the dealership. May be the same part number as Toyota. I would avoid any aftermarket starters.

@@harborareatech310 do you think there’s a difference between the rock auto denso reman and the one from the dealer? Denso 280-0329 on rock auto, Amazon, etc

@bobberben I'm not too sure, but it looks the same to me!

@@harborareatech310yeah I was hoping lol debating if I want to swap the knock sensors out while I’m in there now lol

@bobberben if it were my own vehicle, I would replace that with the connectors for the starter connector and for the knock senors

I agree!

@harborareatech310 I just found a 430 in great condition with 76k miles but the starter is bad

@jacksonduval4995 That wassup just fix that starter and do the maintenance, and you'll have yourself a vehicle that would last a long time.

@harborareatech310 I might go get it tomorrow. He willing to let it go for $1300. I really just need another car because I'm getting all this stuff done to my 240sx and I won't have it for atleast 3 weeks

I use a ratcheting 14mm wrench with a swivel end. Im sure there are other versions but this is the one i use.

If it is just a starter you're doing and you have your parts ready, it is definitely doable as a weekend job

It’s only rated as a 4.6 hour job took me 3.5 and I’ve never done one before

Those are more simple

@@harborareatech310 how is that when you got too drop the chasis and the control arm and motor mount just to get too it

@bobbyserchion loosen up the motor and trans mount and lift the engine or transmission to sneak it out

@@harborareatech310 thanks I didn't think about doing that 😅

Is that so?

Oh yeah, those could be a pain, especially if everything is brittle.

@@harborareatech310 I was working on this past week and almost every hose was brittle

The book calls for 5-6 hrs of labor. So im guessing whatever the dealers hourly rate is plus parts.

You might be able to get away by just doing the starter if you catch it early.

That's respectable!

I just called lexus and they wanted 2K lol

Same concept

Glad it helped

@@harborareatech310 👍👍👍👍👍

@@harborareatech310 у меня было немного сложнее ...+газ пропан...+это все стоит в Газель 3202👍👍👍
