The starter motor is spinning but the engine is not cranking. I believe this requires the the starter to be replaced. Problem is how do I remove the starter from this car. I am a new Supra owner. I want to avoid having to lift the engine as this is what it looks to be so any advice and help is greatly appreciated.

So it's actually cranking, and not just clicking? The common problem is bad contacts in the starter causing the starter to randomly not work. Taking it out and putting it back in is fairly straight foward, it also helps alot if you have some small arms :iceslolan You'll want to jack the car up enough so you can get under the drivers side, then take a bunch of extensions with some universals, a 14mm wrench and socket and unbolt it. Use the wrench to hold the nut still, and unbolt the bolt with the socket and extensions, or which ever you find easier. When you get a new starter ask for a 91-92 unit, it has threads built in so you don't have to hassle with the nut, just the bolt. Also you can't get the wires mixed up since theres only 2 of them, and there two different sizes.
