Or a bearing? Or the brushes? They almost NEVER rebuilt AT the dealers anyways. I have never seen it done at all, but I havn't been to every dealer in the states, so I can't say. They just replace the whole thing and send the old back as a core. --------------------  |

Your dealer might still do rebuilds, I havn't been there. I wasn't saying they DON'T change the contacts, but that is not all they do in a complete rebuild. Now if just your contacts were bad [which is the case the majority of the time], they very well might have just replaced them. However, that is NOT a rebuilt starter. It is a starter with the contacts replaced. -------------------- |
