BRUSH INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT
1. Using a digital multitester, measure the resistance
between the cable terminal and the insulated brush. The
reading should be .3 ohms or less. Measure the
resistance between the cable terminal and brush
housing. Make sure the brush is not touching the case.
The reading should be infinite.
2. Remove nut, flat washer, large phenolic washer, two
small phenolic washers, and O-Ring from brush
terminal. Inspect the O-Ring and replace if damaged.
3. Remove brush plate and brushes. Measure length of
brushes and replace if worn past the service limit.
Replace springs if they are discolored or have
inadequate tension.
4. Inspect surface of commutator for wear or discoloration.
See steps 3-6 of armature testing on page 5.18.
5. Install a new carbon brush assembly in the brush
housing. NOTE: Be sure that the terminal bolt insulating
washer is properly seated in the housing, and the tab on
the brush plate engages the notch in the brush plate
