Craig that was a great video. Explained everything clearly. I was easily able to follow along and would be confident to complete this job just by following your advise. Well Done! 🙂👍

Hi mate. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate that. Glad you were able to follow along and it made sense. There will be more Hilux repairs and maintenance coming. Cheers Craig

Great video and good camera angles! The last starter motor I changed was on my Hilux. I don’t know how but the actual alloy housing had snapped through and the starter fell out! I’m not a mechanic either but I’ve saved thousands of dollars over the years by doing 98% of my own work on my vehicles. I’ve accumulated a pretty extensive toolbox in that time too. Bigger jobs like the timing belt etc, I’ll be leaving to the experts but pretty much anything else I’ll have a crack at.

I’ve got an 2009 hilux done 275 000, I’ll probably change mine when needed, save some $$$, thanks for sharing

@@louiskudlak2241 A mate advised me after I did this they normally remove it from the bottom. Obviously I don’t have a joist to stand under.

Lovely ep and tips, Is there a reason you never put a bit of grease or neverseize on the the threads

[@ottouring]

Hi Craig, Yeah I probably should have explained that. It’s so the bolts don’t seize in when tightened especially as this was before the cape York trip and the car was going to numerous creek crossings. It should make it easier if ever needed to be removed again. Cheers Craig

@@ottouring You lost me did you use some grease or never sieze, I always use it on my gear , and wheel nuts to I operated trucks carring wet river sand out of the creek if you never put Antysieze or grease on the treads they seize on,

[@ottouring]

@@craigtomkinson2837 yeah I put never seize on thread to prevent the bolts seizing
