Thanks Jerry,
Will do as you suggest. If there is little or no oxidation, is the sandpaper thing needed? Just thinking that the scratches imparted might give the brushes LESS of a surface to ride on. Or am I looking at this wrong?
Here's the new starter drive (
ACDELCO 2100) that I got from Amazon for about $30. It's on the bottom, the NAPA part on the top. Length is right, as is the tooth count and (seemingly) the pitch. I will make sure and measure diameters tomorrow, but right now, we are prepping for Snowmaggedon II, so will see. At least I may get a free day off tomorrow to work on my starter. I think that's a wonderful thing.
Here's a shot of the forward end of my
old starter drive. Obviously rebuilt, but I wonder if that means the starter drive was a rebuilt unit or the whole starter.
Back soon,
Jim
