I think something is not rite in the starter...when I first took it off, the brushes came poppin out..didnt read the post about the nut on one of the studs...but I thought I got it back together rite..now just a click when I push the button. I took ALL the connections apart and sanded what I could and cleaned the rest good. I will wait for an answer and mission instructions before tearing into starter again.

 Service Manual method in reply to ricko700, 10-19-2007 18:46:30  
I used the method described in the service manual where you insert the brush and retract it all the way and kinda cock it on the end of the guide for it. Put the starter together, and then reach in with a screwdriver and push them loose/straight and they just drop/pop down in the guide.

Did you get, or think you got, the brushes back in the holders, with the springs on top holding them down?

The toothpicks, or just some pieces of electric fence wire, or whatever you come up with is to hold the springs back till you git the brushes back on the armature, then let them go to hold the brushes down.

Can u use the toothpicks before the guts are completely pulled out so as to not let the brushes leap outta there holders?

While the starter is still on, take the band off and you should be able to see one maybe 2 brushes, see if you see anything that looks wrong there.

Otherwise pull it.

There are 2 brush wires that should be insulated, they should NOT be shorting to anything that is a ground.

Sometimes that insulation can git hard and break off.

I think I know what I am talking about, if I am wrong someone speak up.

I used forceps..Worked for me...Springs have to be in the right slot. I took mine apart 3 times before I got it right.
