Subject:trouble installing new starter bushing
From:John Meeks

Vanagon folk,

Got the old starter bushing out with a 7/16" tap but having a rough
time installing the new one.  Already dropped one into the
bellhousing. Got a rag stuffed in the hole for my next attempt.  I've
filed a bevel on the leading edge and using a same sized
socket/extension with the bushing taped to it.Can't get it more than a
mm into the hole. hole is clean. I already lost my backup bushing so
this is it.

Any tips or tricks?
