It took me all of about 15 minutes to pull my starter
in a FLAPS parking lot the other day.  Now I have
my new starter and, being a good boy, decided to
change the starter bushing.  I bought a 10.7mm
tap and tried to remove it with that (turning it
until it began to back out the bushing - I read
about this method in the archives).  Problem is,
it is almost impossible to reach the starter area
and I've strained to get the tap really going.  So
far all I've done is chew up the front end of
the bushing.

Are there any easy ways to get that dang bushing
out?  If I can't get it out, I'm going to have to
pull the tranny, and although I need to do that
at some point to replace some seals, I'm really
not in the mood to do it right now.

p.s.  I switched lots of components around between
my two buses and found that my problem component
was my AFM.  It worked fine before I cleaned it
with solvent :(.  I hope to be able to get it in
working order again.
