  1. INSTALL PLANETARY GEAR Apply grease to the planetary gears and pin parts of the planetary shaft. Install the 3 planetary gears.
  2. INSTALL RUBBER SEAL Install the rubber seal.
  3. INSTALL STARTER ARMATURE ASSEMBLY Apply grease to the plate washer and a new snap ring. NOTE: Be sure to install the snap ring in the armature shaft groove securely. Be sure to properly install the snap ring because it expands easily. Install the starter armature to the starter commutator end frame. Using snap ring pliers, install the plate washer and a new snap ring. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Snap Ring Pliers Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the snap ring. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Length Maximum length 5.0 mm (0.196 in.) If the length is greater than the maximum, replace it with a new snap ring.
  4. INSTALL STARTER COMMUTATOR END FRAME COVER Install the end frame cover to the commutator end frame.
