    Hi all
    Picked up my exchange starter...
    But how do you get the old Bush out?[​IMG][​IMG]

  2. Run an M12(?) tap into it and yank!

    /\ that will be why your starter was slow then!

    As snotty says, find a tap that will screw in to it snugly, can't remember if it's m10 or m12. Then put a pair of mole grips on the tap and withdraw.

    To put the new one in, thread a nut down an m10 bolt, slip the bush over the end, and then get it lined up in the hole in the bell housing and tap it in.

  6. Bush def not in the best of shape, but could've been the motor. I've had starters where some of the windings have gone open circuit. They lollop, then give up.

    This one was still working but running a bit slow.

    Give the new bush a coating of oil ...it actually absorbs it ..it's the only lubrication it's ever going to get
