Well, that is something else. My manual says to check the brushes and the commutator for dirt at 2500 miles. Replace brushes at 5000 miles. Never thought about that but it does get a lot of work. I replaced a bendix drive and brushes in an automotive starter years ago. Wasn't too difficult but it took 2 sets of hands to hold the brushes in place and slide the unit back into the housing. BTW, it is a starter/generator.
I've ordered the 3mm wrench and gasket.
