Default Bendix Starter Springs

When does a bendix starter spring need replacement? Is it only when it has broken, or does it wear in other ways?

The clutch pressure plate has now been reassembled, and I have moved on to disassembling and cleaning the starter motor. In fact, the cleaning is all but completed. Starter body and rear plate are painted. Front plate has been cleaned but left in bare metal finish. The brushes and comutator are in good condition, and should not require attention, but it would be wise to fit fresh brushes, regardless.

Bought a 1mt (3+ ft) length of radiator hose yesterday. Cost only $40, from Autobarn. Will take a few photos of the starter motor pieces, tomorrow. I would welcome any advice about the bendix question, and what type of grease to lube the starter bushings with!
