it isn't logical to remove the starter, dissasemble it, and attempt to fix it. if you are going to do that much work....REPLACE IT.
"isn't logicial" what are you nuts!! it takes two little(but long) bolts to take a starter apart and a whole 20 minuets to replace the brushes. why the hell would you pay 100-200 for a "referbished" starter; or god help you 250+ for a brand new one when the brushes cost 10-30$. just make sure it is the brushes and not the drive gear(look for pits in the copper lines) those things tend to get expensive, usually as much as a referbished unit. ~isn't logicial LOL i bet that guy works for the government~ The best place to buy starter/alternator rebuild kit(or individual pieces) are repair shops/electrical stores that deal only with starters and/or alternators
