Installation Method

1. Preparation: Thoroughly clean the starter gear and its related components to remove oil, impurities, and rust. Inspect the gear teeth for wear, cracks, or other defects, ensuring the gear’s size and model match the installation position. Prepare necessary tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and torque wrenches.

2. Confirm Installation Position: Accurately determine the gear’s mounting position according to the starter’s design and mark it clearly.

3. Apply Lubricant: Evenly apply an appropriate amount of lubricant to the gear’s mounting area and tooth surfaces to reduce friction and wear.

4. Install the Gear: Carefully place the gear in the marked position, ensuring proper meshing between the gear teeth and the mating component’s teeth.

5. Secure the Gear: Use suitable fasteners (e.g., bolts, nuts) to firmly fix the gear in place, tightening the bolts to the specified torque.

6. Inspection and Adjustment: Check the gap between the drive gear and the thrust washer. Push the fork lever to the limit to move the drive gear to its rightmost position—the ideal gap should be 1.5 to 3 millimeters. For starters equipped with an electromagnetic switch, fine-tune the gap by adjusting the pull rod length. Meanwhile, ensure the distance between the drive gear’s end face and the flywheel ring gear’s end face is 2.5 to 5 millimeters. If not up to standard, adjust by adding or removing gaskets between the starter’s flange surface and the engine base.

Precautions

1. Handle with Care: The gear is a precision component. Avoid collision or dropping during operation to prevent damage.

2. Align Marks: Ensure alignment with the pre-made marks during installation to guarantee the accuracy of the mounting position.

3. Select Suitable Accessories: Choose reliable-quality starter gears that match the vehicle model and engine.

4. Pay Attention to Tightening Sequence: When tightening bolts, follow a symmetric and cross sequence to gradually fasten them, ensuring uniform force on the gear.

5. Avoid Component Damage: Do not strike the starter with hammers, wrenches, or other tools during installation to prevent damage to parts.

6. Post-Installation Testing: After installation, connect the negative battery terminal, start the vehicle, and check if the starter can start the engine normally without abnormal noise or vibration.
