starter rebuild kit

[Raykahn]

Is there a kit available that would let me rebuild a starter myself? Or a list of parts needed?

New starter is already in the car. I can send in the old one for a core refund, or try to learn from it. I'd rather try to learn if possible.

Right in Wazoo's hands. Come on Saturday for maintenance day and Dan can show you what he did with mine. I believe we have several rebuild kits at Jim's.

Hey guys. I need to rebuild my solenoid as well.

From my research, I see that I need the Denso 053660-7061 plunger kit, which comes with contacts and a plunger.

Will I need anything else? Is there a how-to write-up I can reference?

Well, I was able to purchase the Denso 053660-7061 plunger kit and just went to purchase another one for a second starter, but I'm told it has been discontinued, and I can't find it anywhere online.

Does anyone have a lead on one?

Did you ever find one?

File the contacts to remove carbon deposits. I even use a die grinder stone on my battery drill to shine them up. The starters seem to require it at 30-40k miles of use.

Just hit 30. I also read where the battery terminal on starter must not be rotated. Apparently there is no mechanism to prevent this from happening when tightening the terminal nut so one must be aware of this when torquing. I have had the starter out of the car and don?t recall paying much attention to this when re-installing. Thought maybe if it wasn?t supposed to turn it wouldn?t but I give the GM engineers maybe too much credit.

Different starter design than a SBC. Contact is L shaped. Yes I did rotate them on SBC back when young and broke in 70?s and 80?s. No longer young and no longer broke but yet fix stuff rather than replace it.

What is the OAL(Overall Length) of the thought to be correct plunger? Anyone have one 'in hand' that they can measure?
