BRUSH SPRING INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

1. Visually inspect springs. Replace all four springs if any spring is discolored from heat (straw or bluish in color).
2. Install the four brushes (27) into their holders and insert the four brush springs (28) (Figure 20-3, Page 20-2).
Insert the brush wiring terminal studs through the commutator end cover (23) and assemble using the terminal
hardware (31). Route the brush wiring between the brush holder assembly (26) and the inside of the commutator
end cover cover (23) and assemble using the screws and lock washers (25). Using a spring scale, test brush
spring tension. If any spring has a tension less than 14.8 ounce-force (ozf) (419.6 gram-force (gf), replace all four
springs (Figure 20-5, Page 20-3). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• When checking brush spring tension, do not push springs beyond the point they would normally be if
there were new brushes installed. Exerting excessive force or pushing brush springs beyond their
normal maximum extension point will damage springs.
