This document is an exploded parts diagram titled "Permanent Magnet Planetary Starter," showing the complete disassembly of a Ford permanent-magnet gear-reduction starter motor. An inset drawing shows the fully assembled Starter Motor Assy. The exploded view identifies each component and its position in the assembly, including the solenoid with its mounting nut and screws, housing seal assembly, end housing, bushing bearings, and drive seal ring. Internal components labeled include the armature assembly, thrust ball, retainer, planet gears, shaft assembly, stationary gear assembly, washer, E-ring, drive lever, drive (Bendix), thrust washer, stop ring, and stop ring retainer. The rear of the starter is detailed with through bolts, brush plate screws, brush end plate, bushing bearing, spring, and brush assembly. The starter frame section shows the magnet pole piece, pole shunt, and magnet retainer. The figure carries the reference number J4496-A. A reader can learn the names, relative locations, and assembly order of every part in this style of starter, which is useful when rebuilding, replacing brushes or the Bendix drive, or diagnosing internal starter failures. The diagram contains no torque specs, part numbers, or year/model applicability text; it was uploaded to a 1992 Ford Bronco gallery.
