Thank you soooo much for taking the time to make this detailed video!! My son who has NEVER worked on a car before, just removed and replaced his starter himself, thanks to YOU!! 😊❤❤

Mr. Cooper, You saved a teacher from paying 400+ dollars for parts, labor and tow! I paid 127.00 for a replacement starter for my Camry and did the rest myself with your help. You are a great teacher and a very valuable member of society for the future. Thank you for documenting this whole process in its entirety, mistakes and all. I really appreciate what you help make possible for the public and of course the money I saved. Thank you

I have the 2003 V6 Camry and there are a few slight differences to the air cleaner setup but I was able to use this video and replace the starter myself. Saved me a bunch of money thank you!

Such an amazingly good video. Thanks for taking the time to explain each bolt you removed and things you had trouble with. Greatly appreciate the effort you took in keeping the camera in focus all along.

Great video and detailed explanation. Viewers are lucky to have guys like you to help them in their diy repairs.

THANK YOU for this video!! I just changed my starter thanks to your video on my own (well i did need assistance with a bolt, it was really tight). It took an hour at the most from start to finish.

I just wanted to add it's a good idea 💡 on the electrical connectors, when reconnecting to put a dab of dielectric grease on them it helps tremendously, so they don't get corroded so easily and damaged from engine heat. Great Video.

Thanks for the heads up to avoid O'Reilly's starters for Camrys.

You're a legend, mate, thanks! Who needs a mechanic?

This will work for camrys made from 2002-2006 2.4l engines. I have a 03 and i did it in about the same as the gentleman in the video. Thank you sir for the video. The bolts holding the starter in place are 14mm and the single one holding the cable to it is a 12mm.

Extremely helpful video...had the starter out in no time...and easily put new one in..thank you

Needing to replace my starter today. Very clear with instructions wish me luck.

Thank you Michael. I am computer geek 🤓 myself,but like to work on my cars. Toyota to Mercedes, Subaru but only on my cars.Thank you for putting up such a nice helpful video.🙏

Thank You so Much for this video!!!! Changed Mine Today and it went Super Smoothly Thanks to You!!!! Greatly Appreciated!!!!

Smashing job :-D, you did really well and no free spare parts left over lol :-D Short term memory is a must for unknown repairs but it's not perfect. When i've repaired peoples laptops the amount of cables and plastic bits can be a pain to remember, i've had one screw left over and had to do it all again, oh fun :-D.

Raw and great informative video. Thank you.

Systematic guy, these breed of people are rare. I have only met one other person like that. Everything needs to be orderly. Hope that when things go wrong they don't lose their cool. I would like to see their cool when a bolt is stripped or falls into the flywheel housing.

Thanks✌🏾for posting up this video super helpful👍🏾 about to do the same job routine tomorrow...On My 03 Toyota Camry

YOU SIR ARE A GREAT HUMAN BEING!! Thank you so much for this!!!

Bro mad thanks my guy just changed mine out myself. You da man!!! First and only video I watched

Incredibly helpful video. You saved me lots of money and time

Great demonstration and dialogue!

Informative at this moment my vehicle (Toyota Camry 2003 4 cyl) is stalled and not cranking was wondering if it was the starter or alternator when I turned the ignition on the dash lights up but no sound and no crank it started two days ago I drove and when I returned home and park I tried restarting but it wouldn't. Thanks for your video

Thanks...my 03 camry start just went out!!!

My 98 Nissan Fronteir needed a starter not long ago. I ended up removing the passenger tire to access the part.

thank You Michael! very helpful video.

Awesome video and explanation. Thank you! Thank you!

I'm very curious why someone would dislike this. Probably mechanics who think something like this should be done by a professional. This is minor work tho. So anyone should be capable of doing this. They just think they can't. Or they are scared. Cause there is no reason why a human being shouldn't be able to undo bolts and change a part like this.

Thanks alot!!!... this is very helpful

Awesome work man..God bless by the way are you wearing a Go Pro impressive camera work amazing infact!!

very good job. Much appreciate it. Thank you

Thanks for such detailed video

Great video! I was wondering if you had to deal with the factory reset issue when you disconnect the battery from a Camry. There's a video about that. Whenever I disconnect my battery from my Camry I have to do a reset. It's the craziest thing, most inconvenient thing ever. Great great job on the video. Now I know to have prepared a 10 mm 12 mm or 14 mm socket with an extension I really appreciate you putting up this video thanks

oem usually best bet-hence 3x with aftermarket

You sir are a God sent angle. Great video incredible lighting along with easy to follow dialogue. Just what I needed to view to get the nerves to try this myself. I would like to say that it is ironic that I also have a 2003 Camry and this is the 3rd starter I have gone through ( 2 in a month) from O'Reilly Auto Parts. This has left a very bad taste in my mouth for a auto parts store. After I swap this out and hope that i just got a bad batch, I still probably won't buy another major part from them again. :( PS : I'm curious. Did you use a go pro to record this or a head mounted cell phone ?

This video was helpful I have a 2007 Toyota Solara

Thanks for help us. Last night i did It. 🤝👍🏻

How did you not snap the positive off the back idk

Can you do it by getting under the car (the old way)? Or it isn´t that far below? I used to do that repair in an Oldsmobile. Honestly perhaps I prefer to go straight for the starter by getting under the car, rather than move several unrelated parts around to uncover it.

Great video. Saved me $500

I used the YourMechanic service and the guy broke one of the connectors to the PCV valve and cost me $50 extra, he also put the filter backwards and he had bad breath. What a waste of money and time. Never will hire them again and also will do it myself. I have done it myself already.

Thank you so much!

Did you have to shim yours? Ive replaced mine in the past at least 1x. This time it originally started and not it seems like its not lining up with the flywheel. Now its not starting again. Time to take it back apart. Ive compared the 2 when i purchased the new one and they were identical.

very helpful. Thank you....

Japanese cars do last a long time. I walk to work (very,very lucky my company moved offices just up the road from my a few years ago) so i still drive a 2002 Honda Civic. It just will not break down, and because we only really use it at the weekends, i just don't want to spend the money (that i don't have!) and buying a new car.

"lifetime warranty, so it didn't cost us anything the 2 times it went out". Correction, it cost your your time x two and the inconvenience when the damn car does not start. O Reilly's parts are made in China, so they break before lifetime kicks in.

You said, Working on cars and working on computer fairly similar (13:29). I am a bit confused and curious. I would be happy to know in which way? Nice video by the way thank you for going in depth.

Thank you so much for this video! My 2005 Camry engine looks a little different but I really think this will help me get my new starter in! I really appreciate you explaining as much as you did for the people who are not mechanics! Do you mind if I message you if I have any questions?

Did you record that with a GoPro?

Why the car still will not start

He forgot to take out the engine! Everyone has faults.

Don't use the open ended end of the wrench. That's mechanics101.

550 bucks my dad just paid for his from mineki

is this same as v6 vs v4???

Oh, there is a transmission in there, don't know what it does or what it's good for but I am sure it does something. ok.

Make video short & quick...

Never sit a battery on concrete he should know that

Boring 😴😴😴
