Re: is there a special tool for this

Don S or Bomar76 please explain the stater bolt idea to me! I thought if a person got the same length and shoulder as the original bolt. I don't see what the defference would. Maybe something I'm not seeing!

Very bad idea. Bomar76
You need to buy and use new starter bolts that have the knurling on them to avoid a world of other troubles

DO NOT do that.
Get the proper starter bolts. They have knurled sections in them to eliminate space between the bolt and the starter housing. With regular bolts you will end up with a broken starter nose, or damaged ring gear and/or bendix.

The part where I and Don specifically mentioned knurled bolts should have been a tip off.

Bomar76, It was a tip off, I wanted to make sure I fully understood the situation. You see I work on 1.5 to 2.5 milllion dollar machines and my job is to fully understand! I actualy understood after putting some thought to it. And then Reel Poor was kind enough to show and tell sorta speak! Belive me I'll never pipe up again. THAT WAS A VERY BAD IDEA!!! All-in-all hope Thumtack gets that stuborn bolt out!!!
