sceaming starter

showcrop · Jan 24, 2010

The starter on my '70 Ollie got pretty loud so I took it apart to replace bearings. Turns out they are bronze bushings in blind holes. I suppose there is a special tool for getting them out, or do you just split them with a chisel?

I just screw a threading tap in and keep turning. It will follow the threads out.

yeah, just drive something sharp in behind them and they crush and you can pull them out with pliers.

There is a blind hole bushing/bearing puller made. The big tool trucks like Snap-on, Mac, Cornwell, etc will have them. Maybe even check at NAPA parts stores also. they are not cheap but better than a chisel or torch.

fill the hole with grease then drive a close fitting (like the original shaft) drift into the hole full of grease and it should drive the bushing up.

ya, just fill the hole with grease and use a shaft and hit it and the bushing comes out.same thing with pilot bushings on chev engines, just fill with grease and use the pilot shaft and the bushing pops out.
