6. Hold the base of the tool with a 1-1/8" wrench
and turn the center screw clockwise with a 1/2"
or 13 mm wrench to draw the spring retainer up
around the retaining ring. Stop turning when
resistance increases. Disassemble and remove the
tool.
7. Reinstall the dust cover.
1. Remove the drive components following the
instructions for servicing the drive.
2. Remove the thru bolts.
3. Remove the commutator end cap containing the
brush holder, brushes, brush springs and thrust
washer (cup).
4. Remove the drive end cap.
5. Remove the armature from inside the starter
frame.
The brushes are contained in a plastic carrier housing,
attached to the end cap. Replacement brushes in the
brush holder come preassembled, attached to the end
cap with the commutator end thrust washer (cup)
holding the brushes in the retracted position. When
installation is performed, the end of the armature
shaft will push the thrust washer (cup) back into
final position allowing the brushes to contact the
commutator. Do not remove the protective tape and
shipping strip holding the washer (cup) until the part
is ready to be installed.
Clean the commutator with a coarse, lint free cloth. Do
not use emery cloth.
If the commutator is badly worn or grooved, turn it
down on a lathe or replace the starter.
1. Insert the armature into the starter frame. Make
sure the magnets are closer to the drive shaft
end of the armature. The magnets will hold the
armature inside the frame.
2. Install the drive end cap over the drive shaft and
align with cutout the starter frame. See Figure
7-35.
3. Installing new brushes: carefully remove the
tape holding the thrust washer (cup) in place
against the brushes. Do not allow the thrust
washer (cup) to move out of this position. Align
the terminal stud block with the notch in the
starter frame and start the brush holder/end
cap assembly onto the end of the armature. See
Figure 7-36.
