    Brushes of starter motor

    84 Accord. I had the starter motor out and noticed that two of the four
    brushes are very short. What will be the symptoms when they start to
    fail (will there be warnings to give me time to fix or to replace the
    starter), and can they be replaced? It appeared the brush wires are
    welded, not fastened with screws.

    I don't think you will get a warning till its to late, the brushes will burn
    into the comutator end of the armature and damage it if they wear down to
    far, better to replace the starter with a quality rebuilt, than to be
    stranded somewhere.Replaced the starter on my son's civic easy.
