We insert two metal plates between the bearing and the armature collector and rest them on the vise jaws, striking with a hammer through a soft metal drift into the end of the shaft, compress the bearing.

After disassembly, we check all the details of the starter

We examine the collector and armature windings. Traces of charring of the windings are not allowed.

If the collector is slightly burned, we clean its plates with fine emery cloth.

In case of severe burns and wear of the collector, the anchor should be replaced.

Seizures and enveloping of the material of the plain bearing on the neck of the armature shaft are eliminated with the finest sandpaper, followed by polishing.

The ends of the windings must be well soldered to the lamellas.

Blackening of the windings and separation of varnish insulation from them is not allowed.

With a tester, we check the short circuit of the armature winding to its core.

The resistance should be very high (tend to infinity).

Replace a broken anchor.

VAZ-2123 starter repair

Check the holders of insulated brushes for a short to ground. The resistance must be very large (tend for infinity)

In case of strong wear of the brushes, we change the brush holder assembly.

We assemble the starter in reverse order.

We mount the brush holder before installing the anchor in the starter housing.

Before by mounting the brush holder on the armature collector, we slide the brushes into the guides and tie them with wire.

After installing the brush holder on the armature collector, install the back cover and attach the brush holder to it.

After that, we untie the wire, and the brushes, under the action of the springs, move forward to the collector.

We apply SHRUS-4 lubricant to the gears of the planetary gearbox.

When installing the body on the anchor, we hold the armature with the hammer handle from attracting it by the permanent magnets of the stator and lower the body onto the back cover.

Set the traction relay so that its control output is located on the right side
