Replacing Starter Brushes 48 v12

[Cokekid]

Has anyone ever replaced the brushes in this starter. I removed the armature to clean it up but when I tried to install it back into the case it seems the four brushes get in the way .The need to be withdrawn so the armature can be installed all the way in.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 Pull each brush wire  out against the  spring tension, peg them,  or release the spring so the brushes clear the armature. [commutator]

Can you explain what you mean by "peg them"

Tie  the brushes up out of the way to allow  the armature to be reinstalled all the way in.

I kind of though that's what it meant. .

 

Thanks

Pull the springs away from the brushes and then push the brushes away from the commutator until the spring can rest against the side of the brushes. Assemble the starter and then push the brushes against the commutator. The springs will seat on the back of the brushes.
