[QUOTE="starbiscuit, post: 570542, member: 18416"] So I can confirm that replacing the starter bush while the engine is in the van is a fiddly job. That upper mounting bolt on the starter-motor is a sod. The nut is somewhere between the fan housing and the front tinware, which involves contorted blind groping. Some people pay for that, I suppose. An M12 tap is the right tool to get the old bush out. And I found that the upper starter mounting bolt is ideal for knocking the new bush back in. I spun an M10 nut onto the bolt to the length of the bush, then wrapped some insulation tape around the threads to hold the bush, slid the bush onto the taped threads and tapped it home with a hammer on the D-bolt head. I stuffed a rag into the bellhousing in case I dropped something, but I didn't need it. [/QUOTE]
