Bendix bolt retrieval
Trevor lost a bendix bolt on our South Island rally in Te Anau. I had read on Fordbarn varoius retrieval methods. All we had was an old vacuum cleaner and my syphon hose. It caught the bolt end-on so easily I could not believe it!

Re: Bendix bolt retrieval
So you fed the siphon/vacuum hose through the starter opening and down into the flywheel housing to retrieve the bolt?

And yes we just fed it down through the hole where the starter goes and it picked it up immediately. We could not find a tab washer though. Maybe that is why the bolt came loose. SAJ in NZ |

Re: Bendix bolt retrieval
You'll find the tab washer in a gob of grease attached to your starter pinion broken tooth where it got transferred by the flywheel ring gear.
Well, thats where I find my ANYTHING - or similar location/circumstance performed by equally happenstance occurrence. There is a Murphy Corollary at work here somehow. http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.html Joe K
