From: "John F. Hughes" Not sure whether this is of interest, but I just installed new contacts on my solenoid in a 1994 Camry LE with the 4-cylinder engine. 1. The entire job, start to finish, took one hour. 2. The solenoid used one "A" and one "C" contact, but it was clear that two "A" contacts would have worked just fine. 3. The tools needed were * 12mm socket, extension, ratchet: removing the thick wire from the case * 14mm socket, extension, ratchet; 14mm box-end: unbolting starter from engine * large slotted screwdriver: helped in breaking the starter free from bell housing * 7mm socket + ratchet: three hex-head bolts for the back cover of solenoid * Vise (I used this to hold the assembly while I worked on it -- not really needed) * paper towel and small screwdriver or needlenose: for cleaning out the dirt from the solenoid * flat file: I filed down the "plunger" surface that was all pitted and dirty; probably not at all necessary. * A little lithium grease to apply to the plunger * Vice grips for holding the knurled bolt while I pried off one contact, which was very snugly attached to it. 4. For those who are intimidated by your instructions for removing the starter for a 4x4 (I was, at first), in the 4-cylinder Camry, removal's really quite simple. * Open the hood and stand on the driver's side, facing the driver's seat. * Look for a 1.5" hose from the radiator towards the driver. The starter and solenoid are right underneath that hose, near the back-of-the-car end. Another good locator: look for the transmission dipstick. The starter/solenoid are just behind (i.e., towards the BACK of the car) that dipstick tube. They bolt to the bell housing with two bolts, each of which has its head on the driver's side and its tip on the passenger side. You remove those two (after removing the B+ wire from the battery, and the thin and fat wire from the side of the solenoid), and then wiggle the entire assembly while pulling it away from the bell housing (i.e., towards the driver's side). There are some air conditioner tubes in your way as you work on it, but they're not a big pain. Everything else is as detailed on your webpage, which was a great help. --John
