They are not hard to remove and replace and depending on the design and budget you may be able to remove it and flip it around and reinstall it. It does sound more like a sticky starter drive though. you can see the flywheel teeth with the starter out and if they look good, clean the starter drive up and put on a light lubricant if any and try again. Any heavy oil will cause the drive to hang up in cold weather and collect dirt. jerry</p></blockquote><p></p>
