Replacing a starter on 1999 Lexus ES300 was not all that hard. You had metric socket and combination wrenches and a phillip's screw driver. In this video show you how uninstalled the starter and then replaced it in pretty good detail. This starter is used in 1998 to 2001, and so basically you could use the same procedure that is shown there.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

My car is a 2001 Lexus ES300 and has 106K miles. I brought it to my mechanic to replace Thermostat, Thermostat Gasket, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Camseals Kit, Crankseal, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Timing Component and Spark Plugs for a total of $981.24 ($510 of it is labor). He charges at least 1/2 of a dealer so expect to pay more elsewhere. The care drives like a brand new car and I will keep driving it for another 10 years!!!
