Thanks LS460ride for posting your procedure. I used it this week to replace my starter. Took me a week of spare time to replace it. Had to do it laying underneath the car while on jack stands, no fun. But the car starts now. This concluded a 2 week ordeal in which I spent the first week of spare time wrongly removing the intake manifold only to find no starter under there. Note to self; do more research before wrench.
As a side note, I had odd looks from the Lexus dealer when I went to order the exhaust manifold. On a good note, the parts guy ordered me a replacement navi hard drive for $970 versus $1600. I'm almost on the way to a 100% functioning car.
Thanks again for your help!!!

So my car had only 50K miles on it and the starter went out and really didn't want to spend $1K+ for someone to change a starter. Was pretty disappointed with how low of mileage with the starter going.
Looked online for info and came across this board and njumongkol was very helpful sharing his tips. Went ahead and did the change...wasn't as bad as i thought but was time consuming. Anyways went ahead and documented the procedure for anyone who may have to deal with the same issue.

'07 LS 460 Starter removal
Greetings Doublebase. I own a 2007 LS 460 w 119k miles. My starter just went out. When I press the brake pedal & the Start button simultaneously, I can hear the starter 'zinnnnng'. My years of experience tells me it's the starter. I found your comments within this thread and wanted to ask ~ you say you've replaced the starter. Everything i read instructs to remove the passenger side exhaust manifold along with the stabilizer bar. Did you have to do all this to replace the starter? altho' it sounds challenging, nothing could be more challenging than the 3rd gen LS 400 (where the starter is located under the intake manifold bolted to back of the engine block)!
any reply much appreciated.

No special tools are needed. Just your basics metrics up to a 23mm I believe will work. Also get yourself some swivel adapters and long extensions for the exhaust manifold. Also be careful when removing the exhaust since the o2 sensor is on it. Either remove the sensor or remove the clip. Ive hear horror stories of the exhaust dropping and wires pulled out of the plug.
