starter screaming

You might try to remove the bushing. All my factory service manual says about the procedure is, "remove bush", leading me to suspect it may pull right out with a giant easy-out or the proper size tap. Just thread it in, grip, and pull.

Then you could install a 6V starter and the proper bushing. Soak the new bushing in hot oil and drive it in with a pilot pin.

That's a thought... but with the location of it all, it might be easier to take the engine out haha

I've just removed and re-installed motors in this thing 3 times in the past month... it really isn't THAT big of a deal, but I'd rather not... you always hope the last time was the LAST time ya know

Just lift the car up on jack stands and take the starter off - you should be able to get a tap on the bushing without bending your wrist beyond 90 degrees.

Might give that a shot.. I'm not a very small guy, so we'll see how it looks once I'm under there
