Title: Starter Motor rebuild Post by: Not Happy Jan on April 25, 2012, 09:15:29 PM I took out the old starter motor and replace it with my one from the wagon... Wont need that one for a while :P :P
Anyway the standard kicked over no troubles after the swap ;D ;D Today i took down the starter motor and first thing that I found was this as I pulled off the rear armature cover. There were other bits of paper in there but this was the biggest piece (http://s16.postimage.org/khbjao1wh/230712_001.jpg) ($2) The brushes had good contact but they were quite worn and one had a knick out of the middle of it. . I have never seen the insides of a starter motor before so I don't know what they should look like or what should be clean etc. I have posted some shots of what I thought were susupect. It did not have a seal for the armature cover and water has gotten in and the is rust on the parts as pictured. (http://s10.postimage.org/3r6g69sbp/230712_011.jpg) ($2) (http://s14.postimage.org/x4vfhi78d/230712_007.jpg) ($2) (http://s16.postimage.org/837n07xcx/230712_008.jpg) ($2) Is this salvageable??? (http://s15.postimage.org/xz8bswwbb/230712_016.jpg) ($2) (http://s17.postimage.org/vhj8zkcaj/230712_023.jpg) ($2) The inner coils that are screwed onto the casing had loose outer coverings and some of the outer covering was peeling off. (http://s8.postimage.org/b2ymdk4z5/230712_017.jpg) ($2) The retaining clip at the end of the spindle was loose. It did sit straight but had a lot of movement in it.

I just picked up some old Holden parts, including a Bosch reco'd starter. Not sure if it is off a grey or red, U-EED 0,8/12 R37 ( can someone help). IF it does fit a grey it owes me $30, it's yours if u want it. Andrew Title: Re: Starter Motor rebuild Post by: FCRB26 on April 27, 2012, 07:26:53 PM 2 bolt grey 3 bolt red
Title: Re: Starter Motor rebuild Post by: Stewy on April 27, 2012, 08:19:16 PM Hi Andrew, The starter motor you have is a Bosch for FB,EK,EJ. EEDO.8/12R37 FE,FC Bosch is EEDO.8/12R27 I don't know if they can be swapped, don't see why not. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Starter Motor rebuild Post by: Not Happy Jan on April 27, 2012, 10:15:46 PM Isn't it the other way round 3 grey and 2 red????
And the EK starter has 4 brushes not 2 as in the FC starter and should not be a problem to interchange. Title: Re: Starter Motor rebuild Post by: KFH on April 28, 2012, 09:43:26 AM The FB EK/Ej can be used instead of the one used on the FE/FC. The look is identical apart from a small chamfer on the dust cover. The later starter has 4 brushes and draws less current. I used the 4 brush motor in my FC.
