Starter Motor Overhaul (28-MT Driveshaft and Clutch Di)

Disassembly of the driveshaft and clutch group is not required unless it is necessary to clean, inspect, or replace one or more parts of the group separately.

Drive Shaft And Clutch Group:

1. Disassemble the stop rings and the pinion stop.






2. Position the driveshaft and clutch group on a work bench with the internal gear end down.
3. Fabricate a tube approximately 22 mm wide (2). Drive the pinion stop toward the clutch drive assembly until it clears the stop rings.
4. Pry the stop rings out of the driveshaft groove and slide them off the end of the shaft. Do not scratch the driveshaft.
5. Inspect the edges of the shaft groove for burrs that may have been formed through repeated cranking cycles. These burrs may make removal of the pinion stop and clutch drive assembly difficult.
6. Slide the pinion stop off the driveshaft. Discard the old pinion stop and stop rings. New parts must be used at assembly.
7. Disassemble the driveshaft support from the driveshaft. Do not remove the bearing from the driveshaft unless replacement is required.
