Starter Motor: Won't come out?

[ALI1UZLUX]

Hey, I've a Celsior 4L motor. I pulled down all the manifolds, have undone the
2 main 14mm bolts of the starter through the engine; but starter wont budge?

Is this common or have I missed something?
Are there any other mounting or location bolts to be undone that I can't see?

Yeah, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Get a big pry bar and a soft hammer - they sieze into the back of the block - cheers

WD40 and wiggle it. There are only two screws.

Yeah, thought so much. I'll take both your advise.
Off to get me some WD40 and big pry bar.

Thanks for that.

even tapping it with what ever tool you happen to have in your hand at the moment should work.

Bad news. It was seized in there hardcore!
I was being gentle, but the starter housing cracked.

Is there an aftermarket starter available?

Does Toyota/Lexus supply a "starter housing" separate?
I could not see a part number on the starter housing anywhere.

Is there any equivalent starter off another Toyota/Lexus that will do the job?

why not just go to your local auto parts store and order up a starter.
