  Q: How to remove and reinstall a starter motor on Toyota Echo and Toyota Yaris?

  A: Heed all safety warnings before starting work. To remove the starter motor, first loosen the clamp nut and disconnect the earth lead from the battery negative terminal. Apply the handbrake, raise the front of the car with a jack, and secure it on axle stands. Remove the left-hand lower engine cover to access the starter from below. From under the car, unscrew the top nut and disconnect the wiring assembly from the starter motor, including the lower wiring plug. Support the starter motor, unscrew and remove the two mounting bolts, and then remove the motor. To reinstall, reverse the removal process and tighten the mounting bolts to the designated torque.
