OMG I just want to say that I just replaced my 2003 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder starter. And it was probably the easiest thing I've done on a car ... EVER! The starter is almost as easy to get to as Mirage spark plugs! One can pop the hood and reach down and put fingers on the starter. It nearly hits you in the teeth once the hood is open! I love that car.
A mechanic with a couple fancy flexible extensions could probably have the starter out in 5 minutes and not remove anything else. But I removed the battery, battery tray (which just sits in there) and an intake tube, and it was wide open. If everyone knew how great these mid-2000 Camrys are, a good shape one like mine would be worth 1 million shekels.
