Parts store variety ones are $100 I believe, or if you go wrecking yard I guess $20-30? I don't know about taking starters apart, I never have. Honestly I wouldn't bother. Kragen re-maned ones are $20. Check your service manual out I think it has detailed diagrams etc of starters. |

Replacing that bolt requires nearly complete disassembley of the starter to remove the "brush plate" that it is mounted to. After the "brush plate" is out, you need to unwrap/unsolder a wire and then remove the solenoid from the brush plate. Now you can replace the stud. Should be available from your local starter/alternator repair shop. Might be better off to just replace the whole brush plate assembly, it comes with a new stud already installed. I get the whole brush plate from a local rebuilder for under $10.While it's all apart you can replace any worn bushings, and the brush plate with brushes attached. It's a big job if you've never done it. Not too bad with some experience. I rebuild all my own starters and alternators with parts from the local rebuilder. |

Ok, looks like I'll be yarding for a "new" starter. Sorry I'm new to this, how do you tell the mini starters (apart from the apparent size difference)? I'll keep this one to take apart. I love figuring out how things work. Also, don't you have to shim a starter so that it contacts straight? Seems like I remeber something like that from auto shop? (Good teacher, bad program. I've learned more here!) Thanks! -zorg |

Look for later model Dodge trucks for your mini-starter.Also, don't you have to shim a starter so that it contacts straight? Seems like I remeber something like that from auto shop? (Good teacher, bad program. I've learned more here!) Thanks! -zorg Chevy starters need shims....Mopars don't. |
