SOURCE: removing the bolts to my 1998 F150 starter motor
you need to use an extension long enough pass the solenoid so you can put a ratchet on to turn it
SOURCE: I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix with rear brake drums....
First: make sure the emergency brake is not applied. Second: over time the drum wears inside where the brake linings make contact, which makes an outer ridge. You will have to retract the brake linings to clear that ridge. Look on the back side of brake, and there should be a slotted access port to loosen the linings. If present remove cap cover, then insert wide blade flat screw driver to manually turn a star type toothed gear. Note: you will not be turning the screw driver, but making muliple up and down prybar movements to turn that hidden gear. I am not certain which way loosens the linings on your model. You will have to try going clockwise or counter clockwise.
SOURCE: how to remov the starter motor
Locate the starter by following the negative battery lead to the cylinder looking thing sticking out the side of the engine near to the firewall.
Remove battery leads. Undo the starter wires and harness. Undo the 3 starter motor bolts which attach it to the engine block. Carefully slide out the starter motor. Bear in mind the flywheel teeth can cause it to stick. If this happens turn the crankshaft over by using a spanner, or rock the car in gear (be careful though!)
When you refit a new one, make sure ALL of the wires go back on tightly. Clean up the connectors with a wire brush to ensure a solid contact.
