Replacing armature on kohler starter

Can you provide a coupe of pictures of you brush end cap parts? I feel like we are trying to instruct by brail here.
 
I already drilled 4 holes in the end cap that has the brush holders on it thanks.
 
Use 3M yellow adhesive, but I think you are going through a lot of headaches for such a cheap starter.
 
I'm thinking them little people with the little hands and fingers and Big Head did not have any trouble installing the brushes super fast, probably women on the assembly line.
 
I am going to buy one from amazon they are around 50.00 thanks for all the sugestions.
 
thinking about all that has been said. This is informative only. Starter armatures run a tight clearance. This is true for many motors. If the armature expands it will drag on the field coils. It sounds like this is what happened to this starter. Also some starters are self supporting while others need a bushing in the bell housing to support the nose end of the starter. If this starter is one of those, a worn bushing can cause the armature to drag on the field coils. I don't know if this is one of those or not.
 
The starter has bushings on both ends nothing else supports the armature.

Remember, it wasn’t that many years ago that starters, alternators, etc. were rebuilt locally. I mean, some still are but very few. People remove and replace most times. An aftermarket starter price is really reasonable. However, the OEM starters are usually 3 times and up, the cost of aftermarket.
