How to remove and install starter for Corolla DX 1991

Get a glass company to do it. They have all the tools, adhesives and the glass.

The only thing I can suggest is cleaning the terminals on your battery and cables make sure the battery is charged turn on your key and see if you have lights in the dome and headlights if you do it's a starting issue

Starter gets jammed after fitting and to confirm the same, engage your car in second gear and try pushing front and back and it should release. Try starting thereafter. In most cases it works.

Hello,

To replace the starter of a 1998 toyota corolla, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the key from the ignition, and remove the battery, do not attempt this with the battery in car.
2. Remove the battery and tray.
3. Look to the rear of the engine, You'll see the top of the starter, loosen and remove the 14mm bolt/nut holding it down below,
4. Drain the radiator and remove the lower radiator hose. This will let You squeeze the starter around the AC line,
5. Then install the new starter, the one bolt You removed from the bottom, screw the last 14mm bolt on the starter into the transmission loosely,
6. Go up top, reinstall the top bolt, tighten this firmly but not all the way,
7. Go below, tighten the bottom bolt to final spec.
   
8. Reattach all the wires, make sure the trigger wire is snapped in fully.
9. Go up top, firmly firmly tighten to spec the top bolt,
10. Reinstall everything You removed up top the below,
11. Reinstall the battery and make sure the ignition is off while doing this,
12. Hook up battery and ensure every thing that was loosened has been installed back on.
13. Then You crank it to see if it will start.

I hope help you with this (rated this help). Good luck.

The starter is located partially underneath the engeine in the center rear , right about at the midpoint of the cylanders anout 6- 12 down , its mostly hidden be the engiene itself, but you can see it by leaning over the engiene and peering down the opening, an easier way would be looking at the cap for your oil going right about 6 inches and looking down, another problem I've had with my corolla which i thought was the starter ended up being the erosion of the terimnals on the battery cables, the positive terminal is attached to a fusebox, connect by a small terminal, which can erode, you can fix that issue by rigging the battery with a piece of metal to conduct and a replament terminal on the battery.
