How does one remove the old bronze bushing in the housing that the starter shaft sticks into? What handy tool or trick?
Thank you.

You can get little pullers.
I just split the thinnest side and it falls out.

Re: starter question (Vdubs)

I'm a starter/alternator teardown guy at a large independent auto electric shop here in Victoria. There are two ways to get the bushing out. You can either be very careful with a small chisel and a small hammer, or you can use a tool which you probably don't have (and wouldn't need). Don't scratch the housing where the bearing sits, or it'll be NFG!!! HTH
