Pontiac Fiero Starter Brush
The Pontiac Fiero Starter Brush connects the electrical power of the battery to the crankshaft. Essentially, it brings electricity to the starter's spinning armature. With each Starter Brush pressing firmly upon the commutator, a uniform flow of current takes place to set the armature in motion. In the absence of a dependable Starter Brush, sparking would occur in the armature and contact loss would prevent the engine from cranking. The early models applied traditional copper graphite Starter Brush sets, while later revisions retained the same material but made modifications to the spring tension to improve the longevity of these components. Thus, the functional concept has remained almost unchanged, but small tweaks have improved the life of the starter. When a worn Starter Brush is replaced, the engagement with the flywheel is made much easier and the overrunning clutch is protected from stress. Pontiac kept a direct drive starter on four-cylinder cars and a gear reduction unit on V6 versions, but they share practically the same brush configuration over the production run. Because the Fiero places its battery up front and the starter at the rear, a healthy brush reduces voltage drop over long cable runs. Many owners appreciate that a new Fiero brush set usually addresses the symptoms of slow crank without resorting to heavier fixes. In this manner, they will get their classic Pontiac back on the road with confidence and expediency.

Pontiac Fiero Starter Brush Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the Starter Brush on Pontiac Fiero?A:The Starter as well as solenoid assembly should be removed from the vehicle. The starter housing should have the solenoid removed from it. For easy reassembly, scribe any information about commutator end frame and field frame housing relationship. Remove the starter in-bolts. The end frame must be pulled from field frame housing. Mark the relationship of the drive end housing to the field frame housing (Before separating the field frame from the drive end housing ensure you scribe alignment marks on starter housing). Thereafter, remove drive end housing and field frame assembly carefully to remove it away over the armature (After removing through-bolts and commutator end frames, carefully separate field frame from the drive end housing). Brushes and brush supports will then be unbolted from their locations in brush holders located within field frame housing. To install new brushes, attach them to a brush support so that they are flush with its bottom and tighten them into place within brush holder by use of bolts. At this point, put down brushes on first step of armature collar and then place entire assembly together on top of an armature shaft with brushes overhanging an edge of a collar before slipping it onto the armature shaft. Also ensure that a brush is properly aligned with its respective holder and moved down above a collar until contact is broken between them by pushing each brush off collar at which point they will fall into place on armature. Installation remainder steps are converse to removal.
