Has anyone out there replaced the starter on their tundra 300. Im not the best mechanic but i have all the bolts out and it loose but I cant remove it. It is wedged in between the clutch, engine, and frame. I was hoping I could wiggle it out but I cant. Does anyone have any tricks or tips. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought a shop manulal online and it turns out that you have to take off the entire drive pully assembly to get the starter out. Maybe this will help someone else out there.
The only problem now is I need a special tool to pull off the drive pully, has anyone out there used a makeshift pulley tool or is it off to the skidoo dealer to spend more @#$# money.

One word, pain


1st disconnect the battery.
Take the clutch away, big bolt on the top of the starter I think it is a M10x1.25, don't forget all the shims as you might short the + wire. Take all the front hex bolts from the front starter plate. bleeding knuckles. That should be it. reverse order to put it back.

It's generally referred to as a primary clutch puller. Kimpex/Royal Distributing has them for much less than the dealer's cost. Apply some grease to the tip and away you go.
