16. Using special pliers, remove the retaining ring, then the limiting ring and the freewheel clutch (Fig. 9.28).
Cleaning the starter
Do not immerse the parts in cleaning solutions (solvents). Such washing of the pole assembly with the stator winding and/or anchor will damage the insulation of the windings. Wipe these parts only with a cloth.
Do not immerse the freewheel clutch assembly with the drive gear in a cleaning solution (solvent). The freewheel clutch is factory-pre-lubricated with grease, so the solvent will wash the grease out of the clutch.
The freewheel clutch assembly with the drive gear can be wiped with a brush soaked in a cleaning solution and then wiped dry with a cloth.
Checking the freewheel clutch
1. Hold the clutch housing with your hand and rotate the drive gear. The gear should rotate smoothly, without jamming, in one direction and not rotate in the opposite direction. If the gear jams or rotates in both directions, replace the freewheel clutch assembly.
2. Check the drive pinion for excessive wear or scoring. If any are found, replace the freewheel assembly. If the drive pinion is damaged, also check the flywheel/torque converter (AT) ring gear for scoring or excessive wear.
Checking the brushes
Check the length of the brush, which should be at least 11 mm.
