Starter & Solenoid: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora and 1997 Buick Riviera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
clean starter in degreasing tank or with grease dissolving solvents. This will remove lubricant from clutch mechanism, and damage insulation on armature and field coil.
NOTE:
When reassembling starter and solenoid, use grease (10477431 or 1960954) for lubrication. Use of other greases may cause starter failure.
