Planetary Gear Inspection

Starter Reassembly
21. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then position the brush on the brush holder about halfway out of its holder. Release the spring to
hold it in place.
NOTE: To seat the new brushes. Slip a strip of # 500 or # 600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between the commutator and the each brush, and
smoothly turn the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
22. Install the armature housing (A) and the armature (B) by aligning the slotted point (C) to the projection (D).
