GS300 Starter Replacement
Just got it back on and it starts.
I replaced the contacts and sanded the plunger. To get it back on, I put it in place and had my wife use a broomstick to hold it against the transmission. I then got the lower bolt in all the way. Then was able to use a 14mm deep socket-->swivel-->10" extension-->12" extension-->ratchet to get it on.

Did mine a few weeks ago I took pictures too if anyone needs them. I bought some contacts from an alternator/starter rebuilding shop in San Diego cost me $5.00 each. Didnt want to buy a new starter so I rebuilt using brand new contacts which cost me $10 and my labor vs atleast $130 for a rebuilt starter. The solenoid was $50 at Toyota but didnt end up using it. If you guys need pics and instructions just PM me. My previous starter would click and wouldnt turn over and sometimes would stay on and engaged even after I stopped starting it. Maybe you guys had similar symptoms, if so replace the two contacts in the starter and the solenoid if need be.
