2. After removing the snap ring (by using snap-ring pliers), remove the stop ring and the overrunning clutch.
STARTER MOTOR PART CLEANING
1. Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage insulation. Wipe these parts with a shop towel only.
2. Do not immerse the drive unit in cleaning solvent. The overrunning clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash lubrication from the clutch.
3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a shop towel.
