Hi all,

Can anybody help me out?, I have fitted a new 6 volt starter motor to my 30hp Bug and I now need to change the starter motor bush in the bell housing, has anybody got an extractor tool to help me remove the old one? I am willing to rent, buy or borrow your tool to use just once, I live in the midlands, the 6 volt set-up is smaller than a 12 volt unit, I am very happy to return your tool after I have finished the job

I am willing to collect within a resonable distance or pay for the postage if this would be better?

Cheers all....

David

They aren´t horrifically tight in the gearbox IIRC. You ought to be able to tap it out with a suitably sized piece of metal and a hammer.

I assume the engine is still in the car, otherwise it's so easy you wouldn't be asking...

I've heard a lot of people use an m14 tap and start to cut a thread into it, then put a bolt into it and pull on the bolt. Remember to soak the new one in oil over night before you install so it absorbs a bit, then wipe it dry before installing.

Spot on Rob. M14 tap does the trick. Haven't had to do that for ages.
