I bought the brush rebuild kit and the plunger rebuild kit for my starter just a bit ago. How hard is it to do this task? My truck is really pissing me off and not starting so I took the plunge and bought the rebuild supplies.

how hard is it to solder in the new brushes?

Thanks all

Matt

 

Just do it man - we already told you its easy. Hardest part is breaking the top bolt free. Make sure you have 10mm 12 point socket and/or wrench.

Youll need a higher output soldering iron (or small torch) to solder in the new brushes

 

A higher output soldering iron? Damn.. so my little radio shack special isn't going to cut it???

 

starters dont cost that much, thats y i just bought a new 1 instead

 

Sheeeit.. I bought a starter rebuild kit for 81$ shipped.. a new starter costs nearly 500$ for my truck

 

i think 500 is a rip off for a starter, orilies quoted me 180$ and a local shop rebuilt mine for 92$ and that was with new armuture

 

Oh sh*t.. 180$ for a new starter at o'reillys?? I'd almost pay that much to not have to tear into my starter! The cheapest I've seen for new (maybe it was even remanufactured) was like 400-something dollars.

 

its 180 bux

 

$136-$241 from rockauto.com

 

Snap thats cheap. If I cant get this rebuild to work I'll buy one from those places, then rebuild my starter and resell it hehe
