A stubby box wrench on the front side and a few long extensions and a wobble socket for the back side through the trany tunnel (there is enough room).
Or the opposite, wrench on the back and extensions out the front of the engine, below the alternator and above the AC compressor.ms07s;1132604 said:
One guy who knows what he's doing plus a single pair of extra hands can pull the starter off in under 5 minutes.
good idea i never thought about going from the front between the alternater and AC compresser, ill just use alot of extensions and get from there thanks, also is it cheaper to get it rebuilt or just get a new one
+1 on the long extensions in the front and the wrench on the back. But definitely easier with some extra hands just to hold the wrench in place or to turn the extension.
I would get a new/re manufactured one. Aaron at driftmotion has one for not too much: http://store.driftmotion.com/Static/Itemremanufacturedstarterfor1jzand7m.php
Good luck!

12m opened end the little ones, or a 1/4 with 12mm socket.. it's decently easy, after you get the hang of it I do it to take off the auto trans on Supras.. when manuals though just pull everything.
