@@crisprtalk6963 Interesting. Are you able to manually extract the pinion gear by holding the gear slightly and then turning the drive shaft and seeing if it drives outward?
Thanks for the comment Wilmar, that's a good idea. Unfortunately, the depth gauge on my caliper was too fat to fit in the gap between the commutator segments though. Maybe some calipers have a thinner depth gauge though...
You earned a subscriber 👍 thanks for the amazing tutorial. I have a question: Got an Accord CL7 2.0 (EU) Living in Germany, which is the worst country in the world to get parts. I found a genuine kit from the UK €110 brush holder, plunger rod, etc... A new Denso starter is €185, but, I found some chinesium part for €16 (brush holder...), which was measured by hand and made accord(ingly). My starter nose bushing wheezes from time to time on cold starts. Should I just bite the bullet and spend the €185? Because I don't know how worn my brushes are. Starter is the O.G from 2004, 209k km. Thanks a lot!
Thanks very much for the nice comment! Wow, sorry to hear that it is so hard to get replacement parts in Germany - I had no idea! Yeah, I guess given those limited options, I'd probably go with the new Denso starter. Given the high cost of the genuine kit (60% of the new starter) I'm not sure it is worth going that route as it would be a lot more work and it's still not as good as a new one. Wow, that's impressive that it is 20 years old! That's a lot of starts probably!

Thanks for the comment. You can get the replacement starter parts for the rebuild right from Honda! Most of the online Honda distributors stock these (www.hondaautomotiveparts.com, www.hondapartsnow.com, www.bernardiparts.com, etc.).
@@Beee_Ceee In the past, I have been able to go to the Honda distributors and under "Starter" they have a blown-up image with all of the parts labeled.
Good question. The official Honda service manual is now only available online and is at: techinfo.honda.com/ Unfortunately, you do have to pay for access and the 1-day access recently went up from $10 to $30. This is where I get service information referenced in any of my videos as I like to ensure it is as accurate as possible when putting it out there for others.
@JohnsDIY What I discovered is that most of these modern day starters the starter drive isn't serviceable, the housing that holding the starter drive is welded on, so unless you're planning on cutting through it by some means, then you can't get access.... I took an old Honda starter apart earlier and that what I discovered, I'm gonna look further into it later though....
@@freeman573 Interesting, yep, that's what it looks like in this case. The service manual doesn't mention anything about it and it is sold as an assembly. I'd definitely be curious if you learn anything further!
i have an intermittent no start problem. It clicks but won't start on occasionally. Do you recommend replacing just the solenoid or the complete brush assembly ? Thx
The solenoid itself (coil) is not replaceable. However, the contact that energizes the starter is replaceable which could be your issue. However, if you are tearing it apart, I'd probably replace the contact as well as the brush assembly. But you could take it apart and see how much length is left in the brushes and just replace them if there is little brush length left.
The only video I have seen so far that goes into checking the solenoid. This is the best starter rebuild video on UA-cam. Well done.
Thanks very much for the nice comment! Appreciate it!
@@JohnsDIY My solenoid would pull down the plunger down with 12 volts but the pinion gear will not go up. What would cause this?
@@crisprtalk6963 Interesting. Are you able to manually extract the pinion gear by holding the gear slightly and then turning the drive shaft and seeing if it drives outward?
@@JohnsDIY Yes. It goes up.
@@crisprtalk6963 Is the starter currently disassembled? If so, does the plunger move up and down freely?
Best video on UA-cam to rebuild starter
Thanks for the nice comment! Appreciate that!
Excellent John. Very clear and concise. Greetings from San Diego. Thanks for the illustration.
Thanks for the nice comment Arturo! Greetings back to you from New Hampshire!!
Very well done educational video. You must have an electronic engineer or technician background.
Thanks much for the nice comment! You are correct, I am an electrical engineer working in power electronics!
The calipers have a depth gauge that slides out the bottom that can measure the commutator mica depth.🤫
Thanks for the comment Wilmar, that's a good idea. Unfortunately, the depth gauge on my caliper was too fat to fit in the gap between the commutator segments though. Maybe some calipers have a thinner depth gauge though...
Better than dealership rebuild! Great job!

Nice where can you buy starter kits for these honda crv. In the usa

If you are a rebuilder shop. A kit costs you like $ 8 dollars.
@@JohnsDIY how do you search the part of what does Honda call it exactly.. thanks in advance

How to know if my starter have problem bc when I start it start but it make noise one second and it goes
Specifically what "service manual" are you referring to?

How about removal of the starter pinion drive bushing, that's what I want to see, HOW TO...
Yeah, that's a good question! I wish I knew as well. Please share if you figure it out!

Brush assembly, the click is the solenoid working.
