  3. Install brush assembly noting that cutouts in brush plate slide over through bolts on models so equipped. On models with screws, brush plate cutouts align with loops in field windings. Plates are properly positioned when screws are installed in commutator end housing. Install brushes and springs assuring that field winding brush leads do not contact yoke.
  4. Slide commutator end housing into position and secure with nuts and washers or screws, as appropriate. Install drive end housing. Install shims onto armature shaft at commutator end to eliminate end play and install "C" clip in groove.
  5. Install bearing cap seal on commutator end housing. Lubricate end of armature shaft with lithium based grease and install bearing cap. Lubricate plunger hook and place in position over shift fork in drive end housing. Install solenoid body with return spring properly positioned, then tighten mounting screws and field connections.
