Getting the brushes back on the axle

Featured Replies

I tried to find a post with a similiar problem but no luck. i am not the sharpest tool in the shed with computers, so it may be there somewhere.

I have an 86 wagon automatic. I got the starter part way off and the guts slipped out. Now I want to get the brushes mounted back the way they were. How can I do that ? Does it take a special tool ? I have big hands and clumbsy fingers. The brushes are there intact, I need a way to hold them away from the axle while i slip it in.

Thanks for all you do on this site.

I have a fine collection of hemostats ranging from 3 1/2" to 16"+

My wife says I'm a tool. but i think it has a different meaning, I used a plastic tube that was the same size as the shaft, it held the brushes in place wile I slipped it over the shaft. glad to see your rebuilding your components, instead of having it done at a "rebuild" shop that will screw it up anyway
