Is there a special tool to hold the bushes back so you can put a starter motor back together ?

I cant get the rotor section back in.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Its a Zook starter motor.

The piece that the bushes sit on wont go past the bushes down fully into the housing.

Does this make sence ?

Either there will be a small hole at end to put a bit of wire in or tie brushes back with a bit of cotton or fishing line and leave the loose end out.
