Starter Brush: Testing and Inspection

Measure the brush length.
If it is not within the service limit, replace the brush holder assembly.

Starter Brush Inspection:

Brush Length:
Standard (New): 15.8 - 16.2 mm
Service Limit: 11.0 mm


NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their holders, slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, over the commutator, and smoothly rotate the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
