do you have any pictures to show the steps of changing starter on 1999 gs 300

Could you repost the pictures. I need to replace my starter. I have replaced on on a Suburban before and if memory serves correctly the hardest part was propping it up to screw it in while bearing the weight. Is it a tight fit?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just finished installng mine. I didnt need to take the tranny out, I did have to use extension and a universal to manueaver to get to the long bolts holding in the starter, it worked and I'm back on the road. I got the autozone duralast for $159.99 w/lifetime warranty. Good luck!

Is there a picture of this DIY you guys can share? One of the two 14 mm bolt is hard to reach with the extension and universal tools. I will appreciate the help.

If I recall I used a combination in this order; deep 6 pt socket, 6" extension, universal swivel, 12" exetension and a few choice words...

Good luck

Thats good to hear about your gs I have an 1999 Es300 I need to replace the starter and the alternator belt how much do you guys think that would run me for??

Sewell's sells the starter contacts or brushes for starter and alternator. Not hard to replace these at only around $20. The contacts wear down over use and that is the culprit 95% of the time.
