Starter Overhaul Disassembly 1. Remove  terminal  nut  on  solenoid  that  connects motor to solenoid terminal. 2. Remove  the  2  long  screws  that  attach  motor  to gear housing. 3. Remove motor assembly. 4. Remove   3   Phillips-head   screws   from   solenoid cap assembly. 5. Slide out solenoid plunger assembly and plunger dampener spring. 6. Position housing so output shaft is in view. 7. Remove   3   Phillips-head   screws   which   secure solenoid housing to gear housing. 8. Remove 2 Phillips-head screws on motor brush- end. 9. Remove brushes from brush plate assembly. 10. Remove armature from frame assembly. Parts Inspection and Cleaning NOTE All  bearings  are  sealed  and  require  no  lubrication.    Do not attempt to wash and lubricate bearings.  If inspection reveals a bad bearing, they must be replaced.  Replace bearings by pressing on armature shaft. 1. Inspect all gears for wear, chipping, or binding. 2. Inspect all bearings for wear and dirt contamination.    Be  sure  bearings  turn  smoothly without binding.  Replace any bearings or gears which are found to be damaged or worn. 3. Inspect  for  damage  to  gear  drive  and  wear  on armature   shaft.      Replace   armature   if   gear   is worn. 4. Inspect  commutator.  Look  for  discoloration  and grooves. If grooved, turn commutator on lathe. 5. Inspect solenoid wiring for dust and dirt. Look for evidence  of  overheating.    Check  insulation  for discoloration and heat damage. 6. Inspect   solenoid   contactor    ring    and    solenoid contactors  for  excessive  wear,  dirt,  and  pitting. Replace if damaged or worn. 7. Inspect brushes, brush springs, and shunt wires for wear and/or damage. Replace, as necessary. 8. Inspect     motor     fields     for     evidence     of     heat damage.        Check    for    shorting    using    a    volt- ohmmeter. Replace, as necessary. 9. Clean all parts thoroughly prior to reassembly. F-314
