whatever faggot said that the starters have interchangable internals, or that you can just " switch the housing"

$130.00 later it cannot be done with the SR and KA starters that I used.

so this is the dead starter in my car.


i had FOUR good working SR starters, so i figured i'd "swap the housings"

remove


for the morons, remember to remove this also


the black part literally comes out.

zomg planetary gear reduction drive

OH LOOK THE SR ONE COMES APART DIFFERENTLY


similar but different.


the main deal


OK SO THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE TWO STARTERS:

*.*


there you have it.

no seriously. you can't switch the motors between the two because the spline is a different count and diamter.

you can't switch the brushes between the two because they are different widths.

even the main drive shaft isn't interchangeable because of how the starters engage.

i seriously do not see how it's physically possible to swap the internals on the starters. from here on out, dont' waste your time. just see
