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.

Cheers Nick

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 ?

There just isnt the room to get a normal size skrew driver in there .

It might just have to go to the auto lecky tomorrow.

Thanks for the help though.

Cheers

try asembleing the end cap with the brushes on to the commutator first then slide the whole lot in to the houseing.

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.
