Subject:Starter woes

Hi all,

My starter was dragging and I pulled it.  I noticed
that the shaft collar was beaten up.  It had been
hitting the outer edge of my new pressure plate.
How in the world did this happen?  Was it going in
too far?  How and Why?

I've got a new starter and now I'm trying to get the
old bushing out.  I've read in the archives that
we ought to use a tap to remove it.  I'm on my
way to FLAPS to get a tap now.
