NOTE: It is beneficial and possibly necessary to obtain the DE housing service kit. It is preferable to use new, undamaged parts.
WARNING!!! ALWAYS USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING ANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS TO A
VEHICLE – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY INSTALLATION AND OR REPAIRS TO THE DELCO REMY STARTING
MOTORS. FAILURE TO USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Only perform the mechanical functions that you are properly qualified to perform. Mechanical repairs that are beyond your
technical capabilities should be handled by a professional installation specialist.
FOLLOW ENGINE AND/OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY WHEN REMOVING AND
INSTALLING THE STARTER.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING THE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
DANGER!!! ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY GROUND BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING CABLES AT THE
STARTER. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Remove vehicle leads connected to the starter (Including solenoid ground lead), noting their positions for reinstallation of
starter, and remove starter.
2. Remove the access plug and gasket from front of lever housing, ensuring gasket is removed.
3. Carefully remove the conventional solenoid plunger nut so it does not drop into the motor and dispose of it.
4. Mark the drive and lever housings positions for reassembly.
5. Remove the six (6) drive housing mounting bolts and the drive housing.
6. Remove the seven (7) lever housing mounting bolts.
7. Remove the lever housing and drive assembly as a unit, keeping armature on its position in the CE housing-frame and
field assembly.
8. Remove the drive assembly from the lever housing.
9. Verify the brake washer condition.
NOTICE: If brake washer is worn or damaged, replacing it is recommended. It can be stuck on either the drive or lever
housing assembly.
REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING THE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
1. Install the drive into the lever housing by inserting the shift lever yoke into the drive assembly collar during installation.
2. Install lever housing on frame and field assembly with the seven (7) mounting screws and torque to 16.27-22.03 Nm
(144-195 lb-in).
3. Apply a small amount of SAE20 oil into the drive housing bushing and install the drive housing assembly, aligning the marks.
Install and torque the six (6) mounting bolts to 17.63-29.8 Nm (156-264 lb in).
4. Install plunger nut on solenoid plunger thru access hole at Lever housing, finger tight.
5. Install ground lead to solenoid ground terminal on CE frame and torque nut to 27.12Nm (240 lb in).
DANGER!!!
Disconnect solenoid motor connector strap or lead (for 32V/64V models) to field terminal before adjusting
the pinion clearance.
After repair and reassembly, it is necessary before installation on the engine to check and adjust pinion clearance. (See
graphics, page 2).
For SSL solenoids, remove plunger nut by carefully following these steps. Proper care must be exercised when
completing these steps to avoid personal injury. Also, to avoid overheating and possible damage to the solenoid,
power should not be applied in excess of one minute.
a. DANGER!!! Ensure the stamped metal connector strap is disconnected from the field terminal to prevent the
possibility of motor rotating.
b. Solenoid must be energized for removal of plunger nut to prevent plunger from rotating and damaging the rubber boot.
c.
Apply appropriate power (12V or 24V) to solenoid between the switch "S" (+) and ground “G” (-) terminals.
d. Seat the plunger by simultaneously pushing on plunger nut. Note: 24 volts can be obtained by connecting two 12V
batteries in series.
e. Carefully remove the plunger nut so it does not drop into the motor.
f.
Remove power immediately after nut is removed.
