Remove the screws at the top of the black fascia that is in front of the clear plastic cluster lens

Pull the fascia off

Remove the 4 screws from each corner of the instrument cluster

Pull the cluster out, unplug all of the wire connectors

Do not disassemble the cluster; no need.

The bulbs are accessible at the rear of the cluster; twist to remove the bulb holders

Reassembly is easy, the connectors only fit one way.

Hope this helps.

There is a special tool that is required to hold the fan clutch. Then the fan screws out of the clutch. The tool can be bought or rented at your friendly parts store like autozone, etc. It will look something like this:  http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Clutch-Water-Pulley-Holding/dp/B000RT924E

I currently have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma, and the clutch pedal does not return all the way. I know it is not the clutch, it is actually the spring located underneath the pedal. It is catching and not releasing after pushed.... Hope it helps.

SOURCE: how to remove starter from 1997 toyota tacoma

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

On all engines except the 2UZ-FE, the starter is external, mounted in a conventional manner, alongside the engine block. One the 2UZ-FE, however, the starter is mounted in the 'V' of the engine, between the cylinder head banks. The entire intake manifold assembly must be removed to access the starter motor and solenoid. (Toyota calls the solenoid a "magnetic switch.")


Except 2UZ-FE Engine
