DISASSEMBLY OF THE STARTER/GENERATOR TO SERVICE THE BRUSHES
1. Remove brush covers (29 and 30). (Figure 20-3, Page 20-2) . Pull back each brush spring and pull the brushes
back from the center of the commutator end cover. The springs will rest on the sides of the brushes and help
prevent them from sliding towards the center of the cover.
(Figure 20-6, Page 20-4) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the brushes are not removed, contact between the brushes and commutator as the commutator end cover is
being removed or installed could damage the brushes.
2. Remove the two bolts (20) and pull commutator end cover (23) free of starter/generator housing (24) (Figure
20-2, Page 20-2) .
3. Remove terminal hardware (31), screws and lock washers (25), brush holder assembly (26), brush springs (28),
and brushes (27). Make note of the routing of the brushes and wires between the brush holder assembly and the
inside of the commutator end cover for later reassembly
(Figure 20-3, Page 20-2) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: Clean and inspect the armature/commutator and the bearings. See Disassembly of the Starter/Generator
to Service the Armature/Commutator on page 20-4.
