<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dave,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks for the info. I
have the stator (case) off. Besides trash, small bits of debris up to 1/8
" in diameter, I also found three peices of wire. Looks like I have lost
at least one winding. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'll try putting it together w/o
the open winding - suprisingly it had good torque without it. Next time it
goes down it is either repair the winding or toast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I believe what you need is a "spanner" wrench to loosen the nuts at the
back end of the starter - they are the bolts that appear at the front of the
body. I made my own wrench from a piece of .125" aluminum. A
skinny set of needle nose pliers might also work. You will have some fun
putting it back together - the brushes are spring loaded against the
commutator and need to be "pinned" open via the pinholes in plastic
case/housing on the back end of the body.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>
