Well, I think I figured out why the starter quit. All the oil leaked out!

The top ear had a stud and nut holding it in place instead of a bolt. Is that how it's supposed to be? I assume there may be a clearance issue with the armature throw-out lever with a bolt. If so, should I use thread locker on the stud when I reinstall it?
