Starter Motor Rebuilds and Upgrades

Postby lukeya » Mon Jun 13, 2011 11:34 am

I'm just beginning the process of upgrading/rebuilding my starter motor (already a 4 brush conversion) and there are several posts but mostly a good few years old. Has anyone got actual instructions as to how to undertake this rebuild/upgrade?

One thing I have never found mentioned is how do you replace the bushes in the end caps? I have no idea how you get these out (especially the blind one in the brush end cap)?

Apparently it is possible to replace the drive end one with a needle roller/sealed ball bearing. Has anyone done this? Does it need machinework to get it achieved?

Is it OK to use the Accel standard field coils or should I use the Accel hi-torque ones?

I like the look of the Prestolite and fancy the challenge - if it doesn't work out I'll buy a Dave Comeau SM, but somehow it looks not quite right...;-)

Many thanks in advance,

Luke Albanese
