Can we rebuild starter, using Toyota parts?
Got this from a integra forum, and the integra section on hondatech... Can we use the same parts for our civic starters??
Instead of purchasing a rebuilt starter (~$135), you can rebuild your starter for less than $20. The part that wear out in the starter are the copper contact points. Honda does not sell the contact points, BUT Toyota does. Honda starters are made by Nippondenso and so are Toytota (as well as other manufactures). Toyota sells the contact points in a starter rebuild kit. The parts that you will need are 28226-74070 ($11.89) and 28226-64370 ($6.32). These Toyota starter parts are identical to the Honda starter parts.
If you can remove your starter, you can replace the starter contact points. You should also clean the plunger magnet switch with some sand paper (see photos below).
Here is a picture of the Toyota parts.

not all honda starters because a d series starter does not have that inspection cover to remove or change those copper contact points...

Here's another DIY: https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/fix-your-starter-%245-%2410-no-special-tools-3043958/
... although if apexi_rsx is correct then the procedure might be different for a D-series starter.

That's great info, however most D-series starters are made by Mitsuba. Denso did make some of them, but they're very rare.
Like deschlong said though you can buy parts for them at many auto parts stores or starter and alternator shops.
