You are talking about the bushing that you don't need if you use a starter for
an automatic?

Neat Will: But mine didn't cost anything since I have the taps anyway and
the dowel rod was just laying around. May have been an old broom handle. But
glad to get the insight into the pro tools. Didn't know they were available.

Sharon: Note and give this to Steve (but it is also for any other TCBr
that want the info)
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PULL THE ENGINE TO INSTALL A NEW STARTER BUSHING & A
NEW STARTER BUSHING SHOULD BE INSTALLED EVERY TIME YOU INSTALL A NEW STARTER.
Here's how you do it. You take a tap just larger than the ID of the
bushing and you screw it into the bushing. Keep screwing and it will thread
through the bushing and hit the engine case. The tap will go no further and as
you keep screwing it gradually forces the old bushing out. You can then
replace with a new bushing.
Here is what I use: I use a 14mm X 2.0 tap for a 12V bushing and a
12mm X 1.75 tap for a 6V bushing. After removing the old you need to install
the new. I took a 1" hardwood dowel rod 7.5" long and ground down a centered
shaft on the end 650/1000 long by 450/1000 in diameter for a 12 V bushing and
did the same on another dowel except 425/1000 in diameter. The bushing fits
just over the smaller diameter of the cut down end and the shoulder of the
dowel keeps you from driving the bushing it too far. Place the bushing on the
cut down portion, position the dowel rod in place and tap with a hammer until
it stops. New bushing installed.
With the starter out and tools in place this is a 15 minute job.
This procedure may be covered somewhere else like in the "Idiots"
manual, but I will give credit where credit is due: Daniel Watts at Oakhill
Auto taught me this trick and I came home, made the dowel rod tools and dug out
the taps. Now I'm ready and have done a few.
