Subject:Starter Bushing Removal
From:Jim & Melody
Date:Thu, 25 Mar 1999 12:29:14 -0700

Hi.  I received my rebuilt Bosch starter from Ron yesterday and it has a
nice little bushing attached with a sign which says it should be used to
replace the old bushing (tip of starter shaft inserts into it) for proper
starter performance.  What is the general thought on the list regarding
this.  I don't have any special tools (Bentley shows VW 228b) to remove the
old bushing and considering its location, don't imagine it to be a fun job
with the tranny still in place.  Your thoughts/comments please as to the
value of replacing this bushing.

Thanks.
