Cotreker Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 No start Sunday late afternoon in a snow covered snowmobile parking lot. So I researched this site and found very similar issues. Last summer I noticed the starter hang up a time or two and then Sunday dead for 5 to 6 try's. Hit is with a bar few times and it started, good old trick to know about. I am interested in pulling this off and having it serviced at a local starter shop per a post I found. Any recommendations pro or con???? "When the "hammer-kiss" to the starter is needed this usually indicates that the brushes are worn and likely the communcater needs to be turned and mica needs undercut and then brushes installed.....fairly quick job and any real stater shop can do the work for reasonable $...."

Parrformance Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 They will likely have a reman on the shelf to swap with yours.

Cotreker Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 OK, how long will this take me to R&R? Yes I will remove battery cables.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 It's 3 bolts but it is heavy. I paid to have mine done. Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrformance Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 So long as things are not too tight, I suspect 30 minutes R&R. The gear reduction starters are lighter than the traditional units. 2006 Volvo VNL 780, " Arvey" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2010 Forest River Coachman Freedom Express 280RLS Jackalopee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bja1234 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Tie a light rope around the old starter, then hand the other end up to a helper positioned above the tire for assistance. Seems lighter this way when laying on back with hands extended above head...............Experience is a wonderful thing to have and a SOB to get.

Cotreker Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Update, spent 3 hours busting the bolts loose only got the front two free. The back one is very tight, can not get a bar onto it due to the long lenght of the extensions. My older air gun and electric torque gun will not break them free. Good excuse to purchase a new Kobalt impact wrench it does 600 ft bl's which should do it just fine! Put some Kroil on the bolt to make it release, hope it works. Next update coming soon when it is off and back running.

Cotreker Posted March 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 New starter now installed along with the solenoid (one on the firewall) covered my bases. Ended up getting the difficult bolt free with a 1/2" 17mm short impact socket (6 point) and pray bar. With just the right sections and process I got hold of it and it came loose. Nothing easy about this job, sometimes I do like a challege and I got one. I added a few more tools to the box as a result of doing this job. My connections were all cleaned and coated with Dielectric Grease.
