Check flywheel gear ring for wear and damage.
Turn over engine by hand once, paying particular attention to the positions at which the engine finally stops;
i. e. when the engine is switched off it always stops in certain positions.
The starter pinion engages in these positions when the engine is started.
For changing starter gear ring, see page 63.
The starter is installed in reverse sequence to the removal procedure. Ensure that the cables are
correctly connected up and the bolts tightened to specified torque.
Connect up battery or switch on battery main switch.
After installation check starter to see that it works properly.
