It sure looks easy when reading how Paul did it.
I happen to have a spare starter and was curious to try it myself.
Here's how it went:
Removed the (2) screws - one came out easy and needed my impact driver to remove the other.
Marked top cap and canister with sharpee marker.
Removed unit and there was a good amount of black dust residue at the bottom from the brushes.
Overall looked pretty good - brushes are like new.
Putting it back together again was tricky but I did it. I had to make sure the holes lined up at the bottom and align the canister with super strong magnets just right so I could get the (2) long screws back in.
After several attempts, I did it. Tested it with a 12V charger and starter spins.
Again, Paul sure made it sound super easy - wasn't super hard but had to pay attention!
Thanks, Paul!
