Just taken my (BJ8) starter motor apart, taking photos as I go, and
discover a discrepancy with the workshop manual.
In the manual the pinion is shown with the bevelled end of the 'teeth'
towards the body of the motor. Mine had the bevelled end away from the
body. It's obviously bevelled for a reason. Can anyone advise? Should I
re-assemble it 'correctly', or as I found it?
My retaining spring was totally mangled - perhaps this is the reason?
Photos here might explain ....
