Starter Reassembly

  1. Install the brush into the brush holder, and set the armature (A) in the brush holder (B).
    NOTE: To seat the new brushes, slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between the commutator and each brush, and smoothly rotate the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.

  2. While squeezing a spring (C), insert it in the hole on the brush holder, and push it until it bottoms. Repeat this for the other three springs (D, E, and F).
  3. Install the armature and brush holder assembly into the housing.
    NOTE: Make sure the armature stays in the holder.
