4. Apply a small amount of oil to the bearing in the
drive end cap, and install the armature with the
drive pinion.
5. Lubricate the fork end and center pivot of the
drive lever with drive lubricant (See Section 2).
Position the fork end into the space between the
captured washer and the rear of the pinion.
6. Slide the armature into the drive end cap, and at
the same time seat the drive lever into the
housing.
NOTE:
Correctly installed, the center pivot section
of the drive lever will be flush or below the
machined surface of the housing which
receives the backup washer. See Figure 8-47.
Starter Reassembly
1. Apply new drive lubricant (See Section 2) to the
armature shaft splines. Install the drive pinion
onto the armature shaft.
2. Install and assemble the stop collar/retainer
assembly.
a. Install the stop collar down onto the
armature shaft with the counter bore (recess)
up.
b. Install a new retainer in the larger (rear)
groove of the armature shaft. Squeeze with a
pliers to compress it in the groove.
c. Slide the stop collar up and lock it into place,
so the recess surrounds the retainer in the
groove. If necessary, rotate the pinion outward
on the armature splines against the retainer
to help seat the collar around the retainer.
Figure 8-45. Installing Stop Collar/Retainer.
NOTE:
Always use a new retainer. Do not reuse
old retainers, which have been removed.
3. Install the offset thrust (stop) washer so the
smaller
offset
of washer faces the retainer/collar.
See Figure 8-46.
Figure 8-46. Thrust Washer Installation.
Figure 8-47. Installing Armature and Pivot Lever.
7. Install the backup washer followed by the
rubber grommet, into the matching recess of the
drive end cap. The molded recesses in the
grommet should be
out
, matching and aligned
with those in the end cap. See Figure 8-48.

Grommet.
