How do I remove and replace a starter from a 1993 Toyota Previa? I am told it's rather difficult and may include removing something from the automatic transmission.

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. If equipped with 4WD, remove the front drive shaft.
4. Remove the nut and disconnect the starter wire.
5. Disconnect the starter connector.
6. Remove the bolt holding the starter stay to the upper stiffener plate.
7. If equipped with 2WD, remove the starter by removing the nut and three bolts.
8. If equipped with 4WD, remove the starter by removing the nut, four bolts, and the center bracket.

1. If equipped with 4WD, install the starter, the center support bracket, nut, and the four bolts.
2. If equipped with 2WD, install the starter, nut and three bolts.
3. Install the bolt to hold the starter stay to the upper stiffener plate. Tighten the bolt to 43 inch lbs. (5 Nm).
4. Install the starter connector.
5. Connect the starter wire with the nut. Tighten the nut to 78 inch lbs. (9 Nm).
6. If equipped with 4WD, install the front drive shaft.
7. Connect the negative battery cable.

It cant be that bad because book time is 1.8 hrs for a All wheel drive van and .8 hours for a RWD van. The procedure in my repair information says remove bolts and reverse procedure to reinsatll it. (disconnect battery first) Seriously thats what it says
