Subject:Re: 84' Vanagon starter falling apart

Ok I got regular screws to replace the missing ones and put the starter back
together noticing that the gear isn't really retractable, so I suppose it is
supposed to turn with the motor gear!
However I notice it doesnt turn all to willingly! Maybe there is a problem,
at least lubrication!
How should I test, and lubricate?

Thanks for any help!
