is it a hard job? is it just a case of unsoldering the bushes and putting in new ones?

Was chatting the sparky here.

He says it is normally the m50 starter that is fitted to these and when one of the brushes fails it turns slowly on one coil. It has 2. If this was done for any length of time it will cook the coil and leave it shagged.
