Starter motor

Starter motor for B-Vectra has been completed disassembled this morning, in spite of 150,000km used parts,previously unburdened original starter motor assembly had not any critical dysfunction including solenoid electric switch terminal's wear.

Checking of solenoid switch is performed in this manner, pushing down the plunger till the bottom centered push rod touches the pushing terminal inside(impossible to disassemble), proceeding till the electric terminal shorten the circuitry, then how much more movement to the axial direction would be reveal the future life of the switching parts.
According to my experience, over 1mm tolerance extend additional 100,000km use.

The solenoid switch this morning had 1,3mm sinking distance after the terminals were shortened.
I didn't recommended the necessity to replace this parts and made up my mind to go as it is.

Application of chrome molybdenum grease in adequate portion was performed and plunger surface was lubricated by gear oil containing Microflon powder. The opposite side of motor supporting bush cover was opened to apply lubricant, drive shaft axial movement stopper and spacer were observed. As previously mentioned even in the construction of one way clutch, lubricant was applied carefully.

Now the replacement starter motor parts for B-Vectra in good condition has been prepared, I can go ahead any time I want!
