very helpful. Your special not many young women would do this.
This is a super helpful video. Well done!!!
Just fyi, I called GoWesty about the bushing shown here. Apparently the GW starters do not require the bushing. Just so folks are aware.
Video helped me quite a bit for my 86 van that a few other people glossed over. Thanks for the tips!
Where the hell have you been all my life? Please keep making videos
Nice video. Loved how you covered all the work arounds. Especially the bushing removal DIY
This is a great video and many thanks to you. Heading out to change the starter in my 87 Westy now.
Very nice video. Saw that this was your only video. I hope you make more video soon!
Great vid. Putting that bushing back in is not a cake walk. Do you happen to have the part number for the starter that you installed or where you purchased it? thank
brilliant explanation...thank you!
Really great video 🙏
Thanks for showing how too. Great job! That little bushing was a B…ch!
I've heard that the new gear reduction starters don't require the bushing and all the photos show that they dont have that central support post that fits into the bushing. They look flat on the end of the blade wheel. Is that what your new starter looks like? Your video is the most helpful one I've seen but I was wondering if you encountered that issue? Thanks!
My WOSP Hi-Torque Gear reduction starter did not require a bushing. I did remove the old bushing but the repair guy at Van Cafe said I didn't need to. (See comment above) I did call VanCafe to be sure though.
Does the 1986 have this bushing?
You are awesome
What replacement did you get ? 😁😁 I have the exact same van same year model and engine
