Torque: 1.5 N.m (15 kgf.cm, 13 in.lbf)

b. Remove the O-ring from the field frame.





c. Using a screwdriver, hold the spring back and disconnect the brush from the brush holder.
Disconnect the 4 brushes, and remove the brush holder.

NOTE: Check that the positive (+) lead wires are not grounded.

6. REMOVE ARMATURE FROM FIELD FRAME

REASSEMBLY
Reassembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

HINT: Use high temperature grease to lubricate the bearings, springs, steel ball and gears when assembling the starter.


REPLACEMENT

1. REPLACE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
a. Disassemble the starter housing and the clutch assembly.




1. Mount a brass bar in a vice, and install the starter housing and clutch assembly to the brass bar.
2. Push down the pinion gear.





3. Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap down the stop collar.




4. Using a screwdriver, pry out the snap ring.




5. Remove the stop collar, pinion gear and compression spring.




6. Push down the starter housing, and remove the spring retainer.
7. Remove the starter clutch from the starter housing.
8. Remove the clutch shaft and compression spring from the starter clutch.





b. Assemble the starter housing and the clutch assembly.

1. Install the compression spring and clutch shaft to the starter clutch.
2. Install the starter clutch to the starter housing.




3. Mount a brass bar in a vice, install the starter housing and clutch assembly to the brass bar.




4. Push down the starter housing, and install the spring retainer, compression spring, pinion gear and stop collar.




5. Push down the pinion gear.
6. Using snap ring pliers, install a new snap ring.





7. Using pliers, compress the snap ring.
8. Check that the snap ring fits correctly.
9. Remove the starter housing and clutch assembly from the brass bar.





10. Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap the clutch shaft and install the stop collar onto the snap ring.

2. REPLACE FRONT BEARING





a. Using SST, remove the bearing.
SST 09286-46011





b. Using SST and a press, press in a new bearing.

NOTE: Be careful of the bearing installation direction.
SST 09820-00031

3. REPLACE REAR BEARING




a. Using SST remove the bearing.
SST 09286-46011





b. Using a press, press in a new bearing.

4. REPLACE MAGNETIC SWITCH TERMINAL KIT PARTS





a. Remove the 3 bolts, end cover, gasket and plunger.





b. Using vernier calipers, measure the contact plate for depth of wear.
Maximum wear: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
If the depth of wear is greater than the maximum, replace the contact plate.





c. Remove the terminal kit parts
1. Using SST, loosen the terminal nuts.
SST 09810-38140
2. Terminal C:
Remove the terminal nut, wave washer, terminal insulator (outside), O-ring, terminal bolt, contact plate and terminal insulator (inside).
3. Terminal 30:
Remove the terminal nut, wave washer, terminal insulator (outside), packing, O-ring, terminal bolt, contact plate, terminal insulator (inside).





d. Install new terminal 30 kit parts.
1. Temporarily install a new terminal insulator (inside).
2. Temporarily install a new contact plate.
3. Temporarily install a new terminal bolt.
4. Temporarily install a new O-ring.
5. Temporarily install a new packing and a new terminal insulator (outside).
Install a new packing to a new terminal insulator, and install them.

HINT: Match the protrusion of the insulator with the indentation of the housing.

6. Temporarily install a new wave washer.
7. Temporarily install a new terminal nut.

NOTE: Be careful to install the terminal insulators (inside) and wave washers in the correct direction.




e. Temporarily install new terminal kit parts.
1. Temporarily install a new terminal insulator (inside).
2. Temporarily install a new contact plate.
3. Temporarily install a new terminal bolt.
4. Temporarily install a new O-ring.
5. Temporarily install a new terminal insulator (outside).
6. Temporarily install a new wave washer.
7. Temporarily install a new terminal nut.

NOTE: Be careful to install the terminal insulators (inside) and wave washers in the correct direction.





f. Tighten terminal nuts.
1. Put a wooden block on the contact plate and press it down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wooden block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.79 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)

NOTE:

Gauge Pressure:




- Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then calculate the gauge pressure of the press when 981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.
- If the contact plate is not pressed down with the specified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil deformation or the tightening of the nut.




2. Using SST tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
SST 09810-38140

Torque: 17 N.m (173 kgf.cm, 12 ft.lbf)

NOTE: If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the inside of the insulator.

h. Install the plunger, new gasket, end cover and 3 bolts.

Torque: 2.5 N.m (25 kgf.cm, 22 in.lbf)
