I've had the brush issue myself. the car just would not start -- I thought
it was a tired battery. Bought a new one and it did not do the trick. --
being a bit naieve - I went and bought the biggest battery that would fit in
the hole. It would still barely turn but did get it started - likely cause
the engine had low compression....
I tore into the starter and found one of the brush holders had broken - as I
had to be on the road early the next morning - I had a brass angle bracket
that I used to bolt the thing together to get me going. 10 or more years
later -- I still haven't gone back and fixed it properly...
I will address it when I rebuild the engine -- most times when I start the
car - I get this wraaang noise after it's cranked - I assume the starter
drive gear is not retracting fast enough... If the noise comes after it's
started - could be your rebuilder used grease to lube the sliding assembly
