S250 starter bendix removal

[Rotaxxx]

Long story short, went to start the Bobcat and starter just clicked. Tore starter off and found out that the thing is full of rust and crap. So I want to pull it all apart and try cleaning it but can't for the life of me figure out how to pull the bendix gear off of it. Anyone ever pull one off? Thanks

When i pulled mine apart, i didn't remove the bendix, but i pulled most of the rest down. It should be pretty straight forward. The bendix may not come off the shaft as they use collars to hold them on, but you should be able to free it up.

Thanks Tazza, I got frustrated with the darn thing and went and bought a new one instead. Figured there was no point trying to clean the old one up and have it fail later on.

Well at least now, you know it's not going to cause you any issues.
You now have time to tinker with the old one as a spare when you can be bothered.

a smart man would send starter to local elect shop. have it gone thru and be done with it.
