Assembling 46 starter and unable to get brushes on the armature. What’s the scoop to hold the brushes and slide on to the armature.

This will help. Plus, do a search "How To Install Starter brushes"

I typically use "nails" or other rods to stick underneath the brush wires - holding the brushes up to make the installation easier. Also, sometimes one can just manually use a screwdriver and move one brush at a time to get it past the armature - without any sort of "hold back" mechanism.
