Starter Drive Service
Every 500 hours of operation, clean and lubricate the
splines on the starter drive sha. If the drive pinion
is worn, or has chipped or broken teeth, it must be
replaced. See Figure 7-14.
It is not necessary to completely disassemble the
starter to service the drive components.
Figure 7-14. Drive Components.
1. Disassemble the retaining ring, use tool (See
Section 2).
2 Referring to Figure 7-14, grasp the spring retainer
and push it toward the starter, compressing the
anti-dri spring and exposing the retaining ring.
3. Holding the spring retainer in the retracted
position, assemble the inner halves of the removal
tool around the armature sha with the retaining
ring in the inner groove (see Figure 7-15). Slide
the collar over the inner halves to hold them in
position.
Figure 7-15. Assembling Inner Half of Tool Around
The Armature Shaft and Retaining Ring.
4. Thread the center screw into the removal tool
until you feel resistance. Use a wrench (1 1/8" or
adjustable) to hold the base of the removal tool.
Use another wrench or socket (1/2" or 13 mm) to
turn the center screw clockwise (see Figure 7-16).
The resistance against the center screw will tell
you when the retaining ring has popped out of
the groove in the armature sha.
Figure 7-16. Holding Tool and Turning Center
Screw (Clockwise) to Remove Retaining Ring.
5. Remove the drive components, and drive nut
(collar) from the armature sha, paying aention
to the sequence. If the splines are dirty, clean
them with solvent.
6. The splines should have a light film of lubricant.
Relubricate as necessary with Kohler bendix
starter lubricant (See Section 2). Reinstall or
replace the drive components, assembling them
in the same sequence as they were removed.
