Starter Motor Inspection
- After starter disassembly, inspect field housing and permanent magnets for damage. Magnets are permanently attached to field housing. If field housing or magnets are damaged, replace them as an assembly.
- Inspect condition of armature end bushings and bearings. Replace planetary gear assembly and pinion shaft if worn or damaged. Replace any other worn parts.
- If bushings or bearings have worn to point where armature-to-frame contact has occurred, replace complete starter.
- Inspect brushes and brush holder. Replace brushes if damaged or worn below minimum length. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS . Replace brush holder assembly if cracked, bent or distorted.
