24. Remove the plunger with the boot and the shift lever assembly. Test the solenoid windings, if not done in Step 11.
25. When the starter motor is disassembled and the solenoid is replaced, it is necessary to check the pinion clearance.
26. Disconnect the motor field coil connector from the solenoid motor terminal and carefully insulate the connector.
27. Connect one 12-volt battery lead to the solenoid switch terminal and the other to the starter frame.
28. Flash a jumper lead momentarily from the solenoid motor terminal to the starter frame, allowing shifting of the pinion in the cranking position,
where it will remain until the battery is disconnected.
29. Push the pinion back as far as possible to take up any movement, and check the clearance with a feeler gauge. The clearance should be 0.25 to
3.56 mm (0.01 to 0.14 inch).
