noting their positions for reinstallation, and remove
starter.
2.
Note position of the ground stud for reassembly.
3.
From the insulated/ground terminal, carefully
noting orientation, remove all parts including the
solenoid ground lead. Check the condition of
insulators and sealing features and consider
replacing them if they are damaged or excessively
worn.
4.
Remove the four (4) CE screws and CE housing. If
the armature thrust washer is stuck to the CE
housing hub, remove and replace it on the armature shaft. Dispose of the CE Housing.
5.
Remove the remaining insulators from the ground stud, carefully noting orientation for reassembly. Check the condition of insulators
and sealing features and consider replacing them if they are damaged or excessively worn.

REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES TO UPGRADE STARTER TO OCP TYPE 450
1.
Install new ground terminal and lead assembly with thermostat. Attach the terminal’s negative leads and negative brush leads to the
brush plate with two (2) screws. Torque the screws to 2.3-4.5 Nm (20-40 lb in).
2. Install the square fiber insulator and fiber washer onto the ground stud.
3.
Apply bearing type grease onto inside diameter of new CE housing where the frame o’ring is seated and on the o’ring of the OCP
connector or on the inside diameter of the hole for the OCP in CE frame for easier assembly. Also, apply a small amount of SAE20
oil into the bushing area.
4. Install new CE housing over the locator pins and assure the square fiber washer is properly aligned with the anti-turn feature on the
CE housing.
5. Assure the thermostat connector is pulled through the CE frame far enough that you can see the retaining clip groove on the
connector.
6. Install the four (4) CE housing screws and torque to 4.5-6.8 Nm (40-60 lb in).
7. First insert the small round fiber insulator and then the rubber bushing over the Insulated/ground stud into the hole in the CE housing.
Installing the rubber bushing prior to installing the housing can pinch the bushing and destroy the sealing capabilities.
8. Install the large round fiber washer and remaining parts in the same order as were removed. Torque large nut on the ground stud to
27.0-33.8 Nm (20-25 lb ft).
9. Install clip on OCP connector.
NOTICE! After repair and reassembly it is necessary, before installation on the engine, to check and adjust pinion clearance.
It is recommended the solenoid replacement instruction sheet, be obtained from our website
