Hopefully if your rebuild is reasonably fresh, you can with much elbow lubricant pull them off in the bay. But I have no specific advice, only that you not go and pull the engine before eliminating other possibilities.

Roger that!

Any knowledge on this bendix starter? Was it only in '63? On all V8's?
