In general I don't have problems starting but it's niggling me that the starter bolt is all rusted and not as efficient as it could be!
I came across this thread with regards to opening up the starter, removing the bolt and replacing it with a new bolt.
My question before I start this is, will it be obvious how to remove this bolt once the starter is dismantled?? :-)
Just make sure you make a note of where the shim washers go, and at which end of the armature.
And mark the brushes (or one of them, anyway) with a dot of paint and put one on the housing so that you know which way round to re-install the brushes, as they'll go back in either way round.
