any ideas on the best way of removng the starter motor bush on 2lt air cooled? Have tried using an expanding bolt. What size tap do I need?
What about putting the the new one in?
thanks muchly

Use a tap ie from a tap and die set, i think its half inch or 13mm this will cut a thread in the copper bush and gradually twist it out, worked for me before. Soak the new bush in oil overnight. Then use a bolt with a nut screwed a little way down and tap it in with a soft hammer, make sure it goes ins traight at the start. Buy two bushes so that if your first attempt goes wrong you have a second chance and can learn from the first attempt, they are cheap

Don't put bushes in the tool box - they are very soft and will get trashed..
