Starter Motor: Service and Repair
Disassembly
General
If the motor does not perform to specifications, it may need to be disassembled for further testing of the components. Normally, the starter motor should
be disassembled only so far as is necessary to make repair or replacement of parts. As a precaution, it is suggested that safety glasses be worn when
disassembling or assembling the starter motor.
Before disassembly, perform the electrical tests on the solenoid.
