I have a 91 FJ80 LC with 215k+ miles and a couple of months ago I started having starter problems. I would turn the key, and hear a "CLICK" and the dash would dim slightly and wouldnt start. I would have to pump the gas pedal and turn the key 5+ times to get it going. In the last few weeks its been getting progressively worse and now it just flat out stopped working. After testing the battery, voltage drop, connections, and alternator I concluded its definitely the starter/solenoid failing on me. I went to the dealership and got a new 2.0kw bad boy but I just can NOT find a way to get to the bolts to remove it.
I was wondering if you guys have some tips or tricks to get to it? What tools i might need to get (beyond my wrench/ratchet set) to access it? Do i need to remove anything to get to it, and is there a write up/pictorial to help me do this? I need to get it fixed so I can get cruisin' again!!
