Thanks, great video, rebuilt my original starter, need to use the shaft from the rebuild kit as it has a ridge that the push nut sits over and won't move back, and gets the right spring tension for the contact washer. the original shaft did not have this ridge. The new shaft in the kit was a bit tight through the brush housing, needed to very slightly trim the shaft so it moved smoothly. Note - If you can get the starter out, you have qualified for enough skill to rebuild the starter motor!
Thanks for the comment! I had 30,000 miles with no issues using my Chinese rebuild kit. In fact, it got smoother as the brushes "broke in". I sold the car so I don't know how long the fix will ultimately last. Take care.
your def right about that (if you're able 2 get the starter removed you're qualified to rebuild the starter!) most people didn't believe it when I told them the intake manifold had 2 come out 2 get 2 the starter. they assumed I just didn't know what I was talking about. also, I don't know why but my starter was stuck 2 the bellhousing, even with all the bolts and connectors removed. took me hammering as hard as I could against a 2x4 held on the starter to eventually break it loose!? also that bolt under the intake was a PITA! I had 2 go buy flex head rachets to get that thing off! I did every single bit of it myself (down to testing the voltages on the source, control and ground hook ups while cranking.. which took a bit of extension wiring in order to manage that). I'm def rebuilding since not only is it cheaper, I'll also be able 2 do my own quality control, bc just like you mentioned, I've also heard you cant always trust in the remanufactured ones.
Helpful video ,thanks. The Honda manual advises to re - grease with molybdenum disulfide grease, clean out slots in commutator with hacksaw blade and polish commutator with 600grit
Hello there, do you happen to know how to remove the solenoid coil inside the housing? My honda city T9A mitsuba having a problem which the gear won't fully engaged when start *test on battery outside the car
I don't think I can find the original link, but search Ebay for "2002 CR-V starter rebuild" or "2002 CR-V starter brushes" and find the one that looks correct. You will probably find multiple vendors, so pick one that is fairly cheap and the seller has good reviews. Obviously, this is not as good as a factory rebuild, but my starter has been working well for the last 5 months so I consider it a success. Good luck!
This is worth everyone's time. The starter from Honda is $400 parts stores are $240 and the Amazon starters are sketchy at best for $80-100
Agreed. If you have the time and confidence, why not?

Yeah, I didn't have the correct grease. But I cleaned up the commutator. Take care.
Way over my head mechanically but best voice and diction ever!
Thanks!
