Rebuilding Starter
Was wondering if anyone here has rebuilt their own FD (5-speed) starter? Looking at the FSM it does not seem to be all that hard.
I was looking around online and discovered that new starter brushes, drive and bearing can be bought for about $40 or so. However, I could not find separate armature or field coil parts. Does anybody know what parts typically fail on an FD starter? (My guess would be the coils but perhaps it is the brushes.)

Howard, I found rebuild components at Rockauto.com. They have bearings, drive, bushings (presumably to shim the pinion as mentioned in the FSM), and the brushes for about $50 bucks total.

I am going to try a rebuild in the next few weeks and see how it goes.
