Follow this guys directions and you can't go wrong. NOTHING needed to be said, this was perfect. All I would add is that anyone trying to power the starter the same way, just ground the starter as he did and same for the positive cable. You can use a wire with alligator clips between the solenoid and the positive cable. Just tap the solenoid connection with one of the alligator clips to activate.
The brushes are soldered in so he would have replaced the assembly. However the most common part to go in these is that copper L plate that is bolted to the main positive bolt. This is one of the contact plates for 12v coming in to the motor. I shall post something on it. But by and large he has covered the dismantling of it well.
thanks for taking one apart for a 1.8 civic and recording it for us to watch, pretty sure the brushes wear down and fail to contact the armature fully once warmed, disassembly would be necessary but a brush kit and plunger kit from honda would be less than 60 bucks and made in japan and these things are a hassle to replace since on the 1.8l civic they are under the intake on the rear of the engine.
Excellent video. My CR-V starts when cold, but after driving and it heats up, if I turn it off to go into a business or anyplace, when I get back in car and try to start, it won't start, and I have to wait at least an hour and a half to give it time to cool down and then it will start. Honda dealership wants insane money for a REMANUFACTURED one! This looks like just what I need. Thanks very much.
i have the same problem, i just have to leave it running. i burned out the coils or the brushes or something on having some nasty starting sessions (mix was too rich for some reason, separate fuel air problem) where i'd be holding the key down for a while to the point it started smoking now it barely works, only when cold, the voltage required just isn't there when it's hot. you can get one from a junkyard pretty cheap.think getting a whole starter motor instead of this fiddly task for the same price is a better option.
1. Yes, he uses his feet as a vice. God only knows how he's holding the camera. ;) lol 2. He's demonstrating how to take apart and rebuild a starter. Given the choice of doing a demo with a new, clean starter, and doing it with an old dirty carbon-filled starter that requires it, I think he chose wisely. Especially with the feet involved! 3. He's selling the brush holder replacements at leeautoelectric.com, as posted in the description. I imagine he grabbed a new starter off the shelf to do the demo. If they/he's not a working mechanic, it would be silly to ask around the neighborhood for the appropriate car to demo the part replacement. He's doing this for people who buy the part. Of course!
Ok, that explains why the brushes and brush springs were retracted when he "disassembled" the starter! A new brush assy was already installed, but the brushes and brush springs were not yet engaged as they would be after you install the armature into the brush holder.
I watched the video twice but I couldn't point to what exactly you changed/fixed. It appears that you just opened it and put it back together! What am I missing?
A new brush holder was already installed before he took it apart. Notice that the brushes are not yet "sprung" (they're not sticking out of their holes) b/c the brush springs had not been pushed down to engage the brushes against the installed armature.
I love silent videos and foot vices you rock bro aloha if the starter in anyone's CRV is working intermittently it's in an easy location to bang on that will get you through usually until you service or buy a new one
+1 for monkey vise innovation- feet rule! Thank you for the visual exploration/guide Early starter solenoid contact failure fix FYI- Genuine Honda Brush Holder Set = P/N 31210-5A2-A01 about $28 Honda wants $950 to replace my starter.. not the path I shall take.
So I took the starter off my 2014 Accord sport and I saw black “dust” all inside. Would this part still be able to fix my starter or better off getting a new one?
the dust is part of the problem the brushes are the other 40 years and starters changed very little just more expensive you can buy brushes any parts house.
@@rayt5520 these use soft-carbon brushes to preserve the cooper rings and create premature repair opportunities at 80kMi for OEM rebuilt: $900USD job ($30 part!) 🙏
If you can see the brushes, they are not fully installed. The replacement part ships like this. Once the rotor is in place, the springs are pushed down to engage the brushes.
question, is the shaft with teeth that turns the flywheel, is it supposed to be free to turn by hand in any direction, just in one direction and stiff to the other, or unable to be turned by hand in any direction ?
its a 2015 honda fit, the mitsuba type SM74015 -- when i say the shaft with teeth, i mean the bendix which is supposed to connect and then turn the flywheel

I totally had to rewatch the video because once I realized he's holding it with his feet that was all I payed attention to. True gangsta!
Why do people say that? True gangsta or just use that word in general? People sound like idiots.

How does the bendix gear/shaft ass'y come out?
Just replace brush hold that work your starters thanks
Por que no desarmas el bendix??? O acaso no se puede?
You are the best !
Thank you.
did you replace the brush in the video or just show how to assemble the starter?
So I took the starter off my 2014 Accord sport and I saw black “dust” all inside. Would this part still be able to fix my starter or better off getting a new one?
Hi.
Please just clean some of dust and replace starter kit it will be back to normal thank.

Easy starter to work on..great video no talk.hehehehe👌🤣
What is the brush kit model number?
Exelent vidio woow nice
Brush springs should had been removed before replacing the armature, this will prevent damage to the contact brushes.
If you can see the brushes, they are not fully installed. The replacement part ships like this. Once the rotor is in place, the springs are pushed down to engage the brushes.
question, is the shaft with teeth that turns the flywheel, is it supposed to be free to turn by hand in any direction, just in one direction and stiff to the other, or unable to be turned by hand in any direction ?
Please information your vehicle we will double check for you thank.

Great video, what are the chances of plunger malfunction, have you had any starters with that issue?
plunger or brush... are purposely the same replacement part because they wear out at the same rate.
me sirvió de mucho el video,yo mismo repare mi motor de arranque,excelente
Se deberia mostrar como se saca el vendix
Thank you brother

he didn't fix anything took it apart and got it all back together there was knofind
You left out the most important part of rebuilding a starter, replacing the carbon brushes, all you did was disassembled it and put it back together.
Normally you are correct..
Unfortunately, there is a rash of early starter failures on these cars (
