Hey everyone! Take a look at what the inside of a starter looks like after 415,000 miles!
Simple, fast and effective refurbish of a still working starter motor out of a 2004 Toyota Camry.
Here's how we refurbished the Camry starter.
1. Once we removed the starter we disassembled it into smaller components.
2. We cleaned out debris and built up old grease from the parts.
3. After a good cleaning we reassembled the starter motor with a bit of lithium grease so everything runs smoothly and effectively.

I have a 1997 Camry with the 2.2 liter 5S-FE engine. It has 365K miles and still has original starter.

Great video but you should have spent $12-$15 and replaced the brush assembly (69-8213). Unless someone has been in there before they have to be seriously worn. A lot of that black crud is from the brushes wearing down. One day your car will begin to crank very slow, then a few days or weeks later it will not crank at all.

All that work and not fully disassemble to replace the brushes? Should have finished the job!

Why did you not clean inside the solenoid? The plunger slide can hang up when dirt gets too heavy.

I have 5 Toyotas. 2001, 2003 and 2010 Camry. 1996 Tacoma. 2011 Lexus. But the newer ones are hit and miss. I use full synthetic. And, outside, I use gasoline to clean metal gears, etc. Adds a thrill to the process.

Electromagnet which push bendix outside should be replaced either because of internal copper contact plates erosion.

Do you have part numbers of the plunger, contacts of this starter model? Are these plunger and contacts worn out just like older models? I can't find any info regarding to this issue all over the internet. I've just thought it has a different design and does not fail on the solenoid. Any idea? Thanks

Thanks for this video! Very Clear. How Often do you change the oil & Trans fluid? Brand of Filter ? Are the struts changed? Would you be changing the internal starter Contacts ( brass pieces by the starter Plunger) ? I think Toyota does see these parts. but not sure. Amazon/ ebay does. My 2000 Solara has 335K mi., I change the oil every 3-4K mi. & change the Manual Trans fl. every 100K mi. (too long I think) I did the struts at 200K mi. 1st clutch lasted till 210K mi. Still Original starter, but changed the contact pieces.

Hi Joe, thanks for the comments. Glad the video helped! I religiously changed oil at 3500-4000 mi. When I started doing my own oil changes, I used Bosch premium filters for the camry. For the starter rebuild I did change the contacts. But can't recall if I did anything else. Starter lasted another 3 yrs. Transmission is automatic and I change fluid every 35K. Using only Toyota OEM fluid. The struts were all changed at one time, at about 340K. All four corners. They've held up fine.If I had it to do over again, I would have changed the struts at 200K miles. They have a usable life. And you can push it, but it isn't worth the compromised handling and ride, imo. But it all goes to show that you can keep these cars going forever with the proper maintenance and care. Love me some Toyota!

We believe you about how reliable Toyotas are. In the 80's we tried to tell Americans how reliable Toyotas were but you guys used to get mad and argued your big cars were better...... This is why on every video on the Sahara or whatever you mostly see Toyotas or Nissans.....

That's an easy model to work on for starter or alternator. I just hate the cold crank rattle that model gets with higher mileage. Yours only had it a tiny bit.

Wow, you look like me, use the same lubrication products as me, have the same car as me and DIY like me. Even your glasses are like mine, sorta. Essentially, you're me and I'm you. I'm gonna need you to sign some non-discloser stuff.

The brushes on the 4 cylinder, 2003 Camry are mounted on a circular disk like assembly and the entire assembly is like twenty bucks give or take shipping. I would have replaced the brushes as they are prone to have the most wear of all the parts inside the starter. Spend a bit, to save a lot of time, trouble and towing from a remote area when the starter fails because you didn't replace the brushes. The brushes are about 3 times the width and depth of those found in older starters.

Unless someone else replaced your brushes, that starter won’t last 1k miles

@dubmob151 Жыл бұрын

he said he just had problems with the noise after starting, not a problem with it cranking. it may just be congealed grease preventing it from retracting the gear under the spring tension due to the friction, so cleaning it should take care of that. brushes are a wear item but if it lasted 400k so far, no reason for it to fail after 1k unless not reassembled properly.

that's called a PMGR = permanent magnet gear reduction versus the OSGR offset gear reduction that NipponDENSO used to be synonymous with the guy below me is / was right - you should have installed a new end cap that comes with new brushes Don't understand why you were so lazy as to not just remove the air box LID ??!!
