Starter Drive Sleeve Installation
I removed a T engine/tranny last weekend to take to Lilleker’s for rebuild. I first removed the starter to twist the engine around the steering column. But the starter drive sleeve T 5021 came out in 2 pieces. I went to my parts department and found a complete Starter Drive Assembly among a lot of incomplete starter drive assemblies - due to no sleeve. But they appear to be available. I need to buy about 4. They’re supposed to be non removable once installed. ...... How are they installed ?
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

Re: Starter Drive Sleeve Installation
You are talking about the piece that is slotted & rotates freely on the Bendix drive? That piece is available. It has 2 slots cut in line where the Bendix body is slotted around. The center "rib" gets pushed in with a chisel or screwdriver to attach, retain & swivel freely. Look at part vendor pix. Langs shows it. Dont forget NEW tabbed lock washers.

Re: Starter Drive Sleeve Installation
Thanks John but I thought I deleted that post. Foolishly after I posted it I did a google MTFCA search like I try and advise others to do. Dan Treace provided good instructions and pictures on this topic 10 years ago

Re: Starter Drive Sleeve Installation
Make sure that the tab that you bush down lines up with the groove correctly, the last several I have bought didn't and had to turned down on the lathe on the open end some before fitting to make it turn freely.

Re: Starter Drive Sleeve Installation
I found that the tab to be punched down was too wide for the groove into which it was supposed to be punched, after I had tried to punch it down. Needed some fine Dremel tool work to salvage the situation.
