I can't imaging even beginning to think this way....maybe if I lived in Kenya or something.....

Why? it's only contacts that need replacing... which is what I've bought from the toyota parts counter the last few times I've rebuilt toyota starters.
It takes longer to take a starter out than it takes to rebuild it.
It is a lot better than an a non denso unit and it is cheap to replace the parts.
Don't worry Nolen you don't own your trucks long enough to have this issue.

No way I would tear all that out and put a used starter in there, nor would I "stock" a spare.
For any other Toyota, maybe, but a 100? It gets a new starter if I am that deep in the motor.
Correction....if I am paying someone to be that far in the motor.

That long ball spanned three threads!
I agree with this. After I went to all the trouble to get to the starter, there was no way I was just gonna rebuild it. Entirely too much work involved in that!

What am I missing about the 100 series starter that makes it unrebuildable? I've never met a starter that didn't take 5 minutes to change the contacts in and that's literally a "rebuild"...
Getting the top bolt off a 3FE starter is a BITCH that takes me using my 3 foot ratchet extension to make it easier from the top... but in any event. Surely the 100 starter is not different from other starters?
It's a hunnerd-owner's thang. If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.
ANNNND... this is "general tech and classifieds", not the hardcore corner!

It's not about rebuilding the starter it is about going that far into the engine and putting a used part in there. There is more than contact points that can go bad in a starter. You tough-guy mechanics......

not much. Toyota sells a rebuild kit. and it's basically contacts and screws. That's all a reman is.
Either way. thanks for reminding me why I stay out of the dang 80 section so much! I definitely wouldn't last in the hunnerd section...
