FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY.
1.
Remove vehicle leads connected to the starter, noting their positions for reinstallation of starter, and remove starter.
2.
Note position of the ground stud or mark the CE housing & frame for reassembly.
3.
Remove clip from over crank protection (OCP)
4.
From the insulated/ground terminal, carefully noting orientation, remove all parts including the solenoid ground lead. Check the
condition of insulators and sealing features and consider replacing them if they are damaged or excessively worn.
5.
Remove the four (4) CE screws and CE housing. If the armature thrust washer is stuck to the CE housing hub, remove it and place
it on the armature shaft.
6.
Remove the remaining insulators from the ground stud, carefully noting orientation for reassembly. Check the condition of insulators
and sealing features and consider replacing them if they are damaged or excessively worn.
7.
Remove the two (2) negative brush screws and remove the ground terminal and lead assembly. The thermostat will be attached to
the lead assemble on models with OCP.
REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES TERMINAL AND LEAD ASSEMBLY PACKAGE
Install ground terminal and lead assembly. Attach the terminal's negative leads and negative brush leads to the brush plate with
1.
two (2) screws. Torque the screws to 2.3-4.5 Nm (20-40 lb in).
2.
Install the square fiber insulator and fiber washer onto the ground stud. In some grounded 37MT and 41MT starters it will not be
necessary to install the ground terminal and fasteners.
Apply bearing type grease onto inner diameter on CE housing where the frame o'ring is seated and apply a small amount of SAE20
3.
oil into the bushing area. Install CE housing over the locator pins and CE screws, insuring the square fiber washer is properly aligned
with the anti-turn feature on the CE housing
4.
On models with OCP, insure the OCP connector is seated properly into the CE housing and torque screws to 4.5–6.8 Nm
(40–60 lb in).
5.
First insert the small round fiber insulator and then the rubber bushing over the Insulated/ground stud into the hole on the CE
housing. Installing the rubber bushing prior to installing the CE housing can pinch the bushing and destroy its sealing
capabilities.
6.
Install the large round fiber washer and the remaining parts in the same order as were removed. Torque the large nut on
ground stud to 27.0-33.8 Nm (20-25 lb ft).
7.
Install clip on OCP connector.
8.
DANGER!!!
Do not reconnect solenoid motor connector strap to field terminal before adjusting the pinion clearance.
NOTICE! After repair and reassembly it is necessary, before installation on the engine, to check and adjust pinion
clearance. It is recommended the solenoid replacement instruction sheet, be obtained from our website,
