Style "B" Drive Service
1. The rubber dust cover has a molded lip on the
inside that snaps into a groove in the dust cover
spacer (see Figure 8-17). Turn the drive pinion
clockwise until it reaches the fully extended
position. While holding it in the extended position,
grasp the tip of the dust cover with a pliers or vise
grip and pull it free from the spacer.

Drive Starter.
2. Disassemble removal tool 25 761 18-S.
3. Again referring to Figure 8-17, grasp the
spring retainer and push it toward the starter,
compressing the anti-drift spring and exposing
the retaining ring.
4. Holding the spring retainer in the retracted
position, assemble the inner halves of the
removal tool around the armature shaft with the
retaining ring in the inner groove (see Figure
8-18). Slide the collar over the inner halves to
hold them in position.

5. Thread the center screw into the removal tool
until you feel resistance. Use a wrench (1 1/8" or
adjustable) to hold the base of the removal tool.
Use another wrench or socket (1/2" or 13 mm) to
turn the center screw clockwise (see Figure 8-19).
The resistance against the center screw will tell
you when the retaining ring has popped out of the
groove in the armature shaft.

Screw (Clockwise) to Remove Retaining Ring.
6. Remove the drive components from the armature
shaft, paying attention to the sequence. If the
splines are dirty, clean them with solvent.
7. The splines should have a light fi lm of lubricant.
Relubricate as necessary with Kohler bendix
starter lubricant (Part No. 52 357 01-S). Reinstall
or replace the drive components, assembling
them in the same sequence as they were
removed.
