I've never heard on anyone rebuilding a starter before. The problem probably has nothing to do with grease, more likely it is a part inside the starter that has died. Just go out and buy a new one. BTW even if you did somehow fix the starter chances are it would just brake on you again. Check around your local auto parts stores because a new Nissan one is probably way over priced.

i'm not rebuilding the starter. i took it apart to regrease it and clean it...which several people have done in the past...and now i'm putting it back together

yo, you won't believe this. i was trying to put everything together so i can put it away and every piece i put in somehow just fell into place, and that rubber piece was in-between the 2 compartments. everything is together and i'm gonna try it in the morning. i'll let you know how it goes.

You helped me so much, cuz I wouldn't of figure out how to put it back together and I didn't know if I was greasing it right. And you helped me.
