Starter repair is a troublesome business, but by doing it yourself, you can save your family budget. During operation, the starter is constantly under heavy loads, and is exposed to dust, moisture, dirt and oil, which contributes to the rapid destruction of the insulation of the electric motor and breakdowns of the drive mechanism.

We have already written about some of the signs of a starter malfunction and about checking and repairing the retractor relay. Another malfunction that leads to the repair of the starter is the slip of the overrunning freewheel clutch - bendix, resulting from contamination of the grooves and rollers. In this case, when the starter is turned on, the noise of a rotating armature is heard, and the crankshaft is in place (this is good shown in instruction video for starter repair at the bottom of the page). Repair is indispensable here.

You can check the bendix directly on the car without removing the entire unit. For this you need:

  1. Include transmission;
  2. Depress the brake pedal;
  3. Start starter.

If at the same time you hear the sound of the armature rotation, then the bendix is ​​slipping and needs to be repaired or replaced with a new one.

To begin with, you can try to carry out a small repair and remove the contamination of the bendix without disassembling the starter. For this:

  • remove the starter from the car (Video instruction at the end of the article);
  • immerse it whole in a container of gasoline and leave it there for several hours;
  • without removing the starter from the container, turn the clutch gear several times for better flushing of the grooves;
  • take out and dry the starter.

If, as a result of such a "not tricky" repair, the malfunction is not eliminated, you will have to remove and disassemble the overrunning clutch.

Starter repair with disassembly of the bendix is ​​performed in the following order:

  1. Before disassembling the bendix, first of all, it must be removed from the anchor (look at the video below).
  2. Then very carefully flare the folded edge of the casing and remove it from the outer race.
  3. Then remove the springs and stretch them so that when they are free, they increase by about 10 mm.
  4. Next, it is necessary to wash all the parts of the bendix, the grooves of the outer cage in gasoline, and clean out the nicks and burrs on the working surfaces.
  5. Do not forget to lubricate all structural elements with engine oil before assembly.

If you properly roll up the edges of the casing, then such a repair of the starter will extend the life of the bendix for several more years.

Hello dear motorists! With the purchase of the first car, a new car enthusiast faces many questions and challenges. One of the most important dilemmas that have to be resolved is whether it is worth delving into the device of the car, mastering the techniques of diagnosing and eliminating breakdowns.

As much as we would not like, but any, even the most perfect car breaks down. In order to continue driving, repairs are required. It's good when there is a car service nearby, and there are real professionals with whom you are personally familiar.

Maintenance and repair of a car is a rather expensive undertaking. As practice shows, almost all drivers have to learn the structure of the car and try to carry out repairs on their own. At the very least, do-it-yourself repairs that are subject to our understanding.

The first thing to master is DIY starter repair. Experienced drivers claim that if the car owner managed to repair the starter, then all other breakdowns are nothing to him.

The thing is that regardless of the make and model of the car, the starter is installed in one of the most inconvenient places in the engine compartment. The process of removing the starter for a novice car enthusiast can be equated with an automobile-civil feat.

No matter how hard it is, the repair of the starter will have to be mastered, because without this device it is impossible to start the car.

Given the localization of the starter, you will have to be patient and have a set of ordinary car wrenches, including socket wrenches with a flexible extension - cardan. The starter should be removed in the inspection pit, otherwise it will not be possible to move freely under the machine.

Dismantle the starter as follows:

  • the battery terminals are disconnected;
  • the current supply cables are unscrewed from the pins of the retractor relay and the starter terminals (this can be done even from above);
  • the cover of the engine protection is removed;
  • the upper and lower nuts securing the starter to the engine block are unscrewed, the starter is removed.

While the starter is still installed in the car, it is quite difficult to carry out a full diagnosis and pinpoint the malfunction. When the starter is on the table, nothing interferes with checking it.

A fully charged battery is required to test the systems to function properly. The mass must be connected to the body, and the "plus" will help to find the malfunction. When connecting the positive wire to the contact bolt of the retractor relay, it should work and push the bendix forward.

If this does not happen, the relay needs to be replaced. When connecting the wire to the wire after the relay, the starter itself should work. The lack of rotation of the shaft is a command to disassemble it.

In order to carry out an effective repair of a starter with your own hands, you need to find a breakdown (malfunction) or identify its cause.

The most common reasons why the starter stops working well include:

  • failure of the retractor (traction) relay. As a result of this malfunction, the working gear of the bendix is ​​not fed to mesh with the flywheel ring;
  • wear of brushes. A starter is the same electric motor as many others, and electric energy is transmitted to the armature by means of graphite brushes, which wear off over time and need to be replaced;
  • bearing wear. With worn bearings, the starter can work, but this causes strong vibration and destruction of other parts of the mechanism.

In order to assemble the starter, it is strongly recommended: when removing the starter, lay out the removed parts in order of priority.

The "special" location of the starter, as well as the use of carbon brushes, leads to the fact that the body and all parts of the starter are heavily contaminated.

Regardless of whether it was possible to quickly find a breakdown, you should clean the starter and all spare parts from contamination, check the integrity of the windings with instruments and only then proceed with assembly.

The information that is described in the blog is kept secret to this day at service stations. This is not surprising - after all, it costs a lot of money. Having seen the hard life of truckers, I created a blog to reveal secrets that you simply cannot do without on the road (and not only on the road). Do not believe me - look! .________________________
