Brushes of starter motor
84 Accord. I had the starter motor out and noticed that two of the four
brushes are very short. What will be the symptoms when they start to
fail (will there be warnings to give me time to fix or to replace the
starter), and can they be replaced? It appeared the brush wires are
welded, not fastened with screws.

I don't think you will get a warning till its to late, the brushes will burn
into the comutator end of the armature and damage it if they wear down to
far, better to replace the starter with a quality rebuilt, than to be
stranded somewhere.Replaced the starter on my son's civic easy.
