idosubaru Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I pulled the starter out instead of the solenoids/contacts. Ive done this before but can’t recall how to keep all 4 brushes retained back to seat the starter motor. The case is deep and there’s 4 brushes. Do I need to separate the rear case (does it come apart) so it’s not one long deep inaccessible cavern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 It’s either a 2002 outback auto starter or 1988 XT6, I have two sitting there and forget which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I don't know those specific ones... Some motors & alternators have a small hole that you put a piece of wire through to hold the brushes back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I've done several, but can't picture exactly how it came apart. But I removed the board with the brushes on it from the case, and installed it on the shaft first, and then put the case over the top. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
