Let's be polite and say that I have inherited two starter motors p/n 459 007. Now I don't really need a new one at the moment but I have checked them out against future needs. One spins up fairly smoothly and until something else happens I'm going to leave it alone until needed. The other turned over reluctantly so I took it apart, found some corrosion, cleaned the same. The earth side brush is gunked up and shorter than the positive pole brush. So I cleaned it and all the parts and put in a box until I can determine if I need it badly enough to warrant buying needed parts. Probably between $$50 USD.
But in the mean time how can I lube the two bearings? Is there a magical way other than smearing some grease into them? Suggestions as always appreciated.
best regards
