Starter drive bolts.
Last week I had the starter drive bolts fall out into the flywheel housing. I referred to Les Andrews Mechanics Handbook Vol 2 to read the following, "When either bolt breaks, it falls into the flywheel housing, creating a very difficult situation to remove the broken bolt".
I made several attempts to remove the bolts using a magnet without success, then I had an idea. Suck them out. The following is a link to the you tube video I made. There are 4 parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yhbhHZHrz8 |

Re: Starter drive bolts.
Two diameters of Bendix bolts were used in the started drives, 5/16" in the Model A and 3/8" in the Model B, and perhaps later Model As. The 5/16" bolts have a relatively lower fatigue life. Change the Bendix to the one that uses 3/8" diameter Bendix bolts.
