greendragon Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I have broken the bolt on the front of the starter motor that secures the solenoid cable. I have ordered a service kit off ebay which includes 4 brushes and 2 bushes and aim to do carry out the repairs myself. Replacing the bushes doesn't look to be too difficult but am I right in saying that the brush assembly is held in place by 2 rivets? if so what rivets do you use to fix it back in place? Also is it easy to replace the bushes? Cheers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Its a sight easier just to replace the starter IMHO. They're usually totally knackered anyway and the bendix is all rusty etc etc. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendragon Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yep in the end you might turn out to be right but, ever an optimist I thought I would try to repair it. I'll either save £60 + or waste £12. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
