DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING CE HOUSING OR RECONDITIONING HOUSING WITH SERVICE PARTS
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,
noting their positions for reinstallation of starter, and
remove starter.
2. Note position of the ground stud or mark the CE
housing & frame for reassembly.
3. Remove clip from over crank protection (OCP)
connector if applicable.
4. From the insulated/ground terminal, carefully noting
orientation for reassembly, 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.
5. Remove the four (4) CE attaching screws and CE housing. If the armature thrust washer is stuck to the CE housing hub, remove it
and place it on the armature shaft.
6. 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
.
7. Remove all parts from the CE housing assembly. If reconditioning the CE housing, remove the bushing, cup and wick.
REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING CE HOUSING OR RECONDITIONING HOUSING WITH SERVICE PARTS
If reconditioning the CE housing using the service package to replace the wick, cup and bushing, follow below steps. If CE housing
assembly is being replaced, continue to step 4.
1. Soak new wick in SAE20 weight oil for several hours to allow the oil to penetrate and install into the housing.
2. Align the cup with the wick hole, open end down, and tap it into place until it is flush with the housing. It is best to use a deep well
socket or similar device about the same size as the outside diameter of the wick cap. Strike it with a hammer until the cup top is flush
with the casting.
3. Install the CE housing bushing. This requires using an arbor press or a special tool. The recommended special tool is like a large pin
punch which has about the same outside diameter as the armature shaft for that end with a shoulder on it about the same size outside
diameter as the bushing.
4. Install the o’ring onto the frame groove.
5. Install the square fiber insulator and fiber washer onto the ground stud. In some Grounded 37MT & 41NT starters it won’t be
necessary to install the ground terminal and fasteners.
6. Apply bearing type grease onto CE housing’s inner diameter where the frame o’ring is seated and apply a small amount of SAE20 oil
into the bushing area.
