Method of mounting a retaining ring on an electric starter shaft comprising a starter drive assembly and corresponding starter

摘要

The invention relates to a method of mounting a retaining ring ( 21 ) on a rotating electric armature shaft. The inventive method consists in first mounting the retaining ring ( 21 ) on an axial shaft segment ( 27 ) which is located in an accessible mounting area between the groove ( 23 ) and the splines ( 15 ) of the starter drive assembly ( 10 ) and, subsequently, moving the starter drive assembly ( 10 ) axially towards the rest position such as to move the retaining ring ( 21 ) along the aforementioned shaft segment ( 27 ) as far as the positioning groove ( 23 ) comprising a service area with no radial access.
