Hi,
I'm about to refurbish a starter motor bought off e-bay for my "Ulsteroid".
The pinion clip is broken and I've sourced a new one from Seven Workshop but I'm not clear how to remove the old one.
I've removed the split pin which secures the castellated nut but don't know how to hold the shaft still in order to loosen the nut.
Jamie at Seven Workshop didn't think it should be necessary to dismantle the motor and suggested striking the spanner sharply with a hammer but this doesn't have much effect.
Any recommendations?
Also, apart from a general clean up and paint is there anything else I should do as a matter of course. The brushes look OK but I can't actually try the motor out at present as my battery had died.
John.
