I have been having trouble trying to get brushes in to my 450x 05 starter cant seem to hold them in and then get the armature in anyone got any tips on how to do this?

Try some fishing line to hold the brushes in.

Managed to get the starter brushes in used a U shaped wire clip to hold one in by locating it in the bolt hole in the casing and used a thin pointed scriber to hold back the other one while slipping the armature in only way I could work it without an extra pair of hands. I am sure it will be much easier if I ever have to do it again .
