Starting to pick up the pieces after my son in laws crash (he is fine). My starter clutch "peanut" "comma" cover was shattered. I found what is a good source for new improved parts posted in the "wanted to buy" section. I had trouble getting the cover off and found the reason. The alignment pin on top was a bit fused. In any event I have two questions on my pending repair and was hoping you guys can help out. I do have both the Haynes and factory repair manuals but the info I seek is not in there.
Questions:
1. I found a place for new gaskets and cover like I said but need the soft metal alignment pin for the upper part of the cover. I doubt I will find a NOS pin and presume I will have to fabricate but need to ask since maybe some one has already done this.
2. I have not received my new cover but sure it will not have the bearing pressed in. Therefore I will need to pull the bearing out of the damaged cover. How to I remove and get this bearing out without damage to the bearing?
Thanks for reading!
