To remove the starter motor on a four-cylinder model, disconnect the negative battery terminal cable. Also, remove the air filter housing and intake duct for 2.4L engines 2003 and earlier models, or the Car Batteries for models that are 2004 and later. Next, you should detach the engine cover, air filter housing, intake ducts, and filter bracket on the 2.7L engines. Then, disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the mounting bolts. For V6 models, disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the battery and the battery tray for Highlander models or just the battery depending on the engine models. Once you remove the battery, remove the air filter housing as well as the intake duct on all models. On 1999-2003 V6 models, start by removing the starter motor, and then the electrical connectors. On RX350 models that come with a 2GR-FKS engine, remove the shift control cable, the bracket, and the mounting bolts. On models that are 2004 and later, remove the electrical connectors and the starter mounting bolts. Installation is the reverse of the removal.
