I just finished rebuilding my starter as per your video. My starter was a little different inside than yours, but they operate the same way. I am confident when I bench test this tomorrow that it will work just fine. Then it goes back in the car to replace the aftermarket one that I bought. I may ever check it out to see why it’s not working like it should. Thanks again for a great video. No jokes, no swearing, no nonsense. Just a great video.
Great video guide. My 2014 honda civic starter died. So instead of spending a fortune on a new one. I rather just had it rebuild and reuse it. Thank you for the video, it's really helpful. Keep up the great guide. Very much appreciated for this awesome guide in rebuilding a starter. The new one are just not worth spending an arm and a leg for it. There's just no real value investing into a new if the old one can be rebuild to last another lifetime with proper maintenance.
Awesome video! My 2015 Honda CRV has 90,000 miles on it and the starter would only click. I replaced my OEM starter with a new aftermarket starter and within a month it started acting up. I will be trying to rebuild my factory starter as per this great video. I’m hoping my only problem is worn out brushes. I’ll find out when I take it apart. Thanks again for this awesome video. This gives me confidence that I can rebuild mine.
Thank you so much for making this! I followed this and rebuilt my girlfriend's Honda Element starter. Did exactly what you described and showed and, when I did the test, it roared to life like a brand new starter, stronger than ever. Thanks again for making this and the great explanation that you provided.
Thank you so much for putting this very informative video together. Although my car was crv 2015 this video helped a lot in rebuilding the starter motor. I had to order a new brush assembly. The first time I forgot to put on the little plastic on plunger and had to redo it the second day 😢. Finally it worked. Thank you so much.
great tutorial on those Honda-Mitsuba soft brushes starters. I really like your wisdom with epoxy and grease to keep a clean ground path. I tend to favor high-temp SILICONE (brake pin lube) over petroleum grease that evaporate with engine heat. Thank you Mike. 👍👍👍
Mikey would have helped my troubleshooting a little bit if you had owned up to putting the ride on backwards in this video. You corrected the problem when you drop the starter putting it back together but didn't say anything about it and it was barely on the camera
Thanks for the video I have an aftermarket made in Mexico piece of junk the first one died completely after a month this next one is giving me problems already...would sanding the copper contact points with 600 grit sandpaper help at all ?
If the contacts are black, then yes, they need cleaned. Also, remove battery, take to a battery vender, have it charged and checked. Black contacts are a result of low voltage to the starter.
If you watched the video, and you feel like this is something you'd like to do, then yes. If you don't have any tools, and don't like to work on cars, then no.
Plug it in, then cover with RTV silicone would be a lot easier. Don't like to encourage doing things wrong, but replacing the plastic on that one could go badly.
Thanks for the reply. I have a second starter and will just use the nose with the intact plastic connector. I’m kinda kicking myself for not being more careful and breaking that housing. Live and learn
Don't support doing this at home, too complicated to explain in words and there is a good chance the coil or diode will fail from dis assembly stress. If your bendix is junk, we advise buying a new or used starter (car-parts.com)
