I would recommend just getting a Bosch reman starter unit and stuffing it in. Those brushes last a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time so it they are worn out then what shape do you think the rest of the starter is in? To give you an idea the brushes in the alternator last 100,000+ miles easily and that alternator is spinning every second that the engine is running and you know how often you spin the starter. But to answer your question, no I do not have experience rebuilding a starter as that is something that is left to the rebuilder in this day and age and not the technician, as far as expense goes if you can get the brushes themselves individually they probably won't set you back more than 10.00 bucks or so and the rest is up to you, rebuilding it that is.
