Not my area of expertise - but I would guess either molybdenum or teflon based grease would be appropriate.

I'd be interested to hear rec's from anyone with specific knowledge.

Dave,
    I have it re-assembled except for lubing the gears.
    What grease should I use on the planetary gears ?  The main shaft is steel but the planetary gears are nylon, epoxy or plastic.
Thanks,
Paul

You can also make a 'spanner' out of a flat tip screwdriver you don't care much about -- a little dremel work to take out the center of the blade and you're there...

>I believe what you need is a "spanner" wrench to loosen the nuts at the back end of the starter - they are the bolts that appear at the front of the body.  I made my own wrench from a piece of .125" aluminum.  A skinny set of needle nose pliers might also work.  You will have some fun putting it back together - the brushes are spring loaded against the commutator and need to be "pinned" open via the pinholes in plastic case/housing on the back end of the body.
