How Do You Replace The Starter In A 1999 Toyota Corolla?
The starter in the 1999 Toyota Corolla sits in between the engine and the radiator down low on the engine. While changing the starter from above is possible, it is far easier to work from under the car when replacing the starter motor on the Corolla. You will need to remove the engine underbody cover to get to the starter from below the car, but it comes off very easily. If you suspect the starter is bad but are not sure that is the problem, removing it will allow you to have it bench-tested; most auto parts stores will test it for free. Remove the negative battery cable from the battery using a wrench to loosen the retaining bolt. Isolate the cable from the battery so it cannot fall back against the terminal while you are working. Position a jack under the front end of your Corolla and raise it off the ground. Place a set of jack stands under the frame of the car to support it while you work under it. Locate and remove the three retaining bolts on the right side engine underbody cover
