My starter swap was going fine until I crunched the new bushing while tapping it in. Everything was going fine up until that point. I searched the archives and used the tap trick to remove the old bushing. I was using an old steel clutch pilot tool and a small ball peen hammer to seat the new one. They are pretty fragile I guess. Are replacement bushings readily available? Also, Do I need to worry about the 1/4" x 1/4" chip of brass that most likely fell into the bell housing? I used a shop vac in hopes of getting it but I'm not sure if I did. Thanks, Walter 85 Vanagon 1.9 Manual Trans.
