I think it is a Bosch starter. I was doing some ground tests and the engine started fine as usual. There was no sluggishness or hesitation to start. Then without any warning, the starter motor just spun without turning the engine. When I try it now, there is a "clink" noise for a split second and then the starter just spins. I suspect the starter bendix/gear is not engaging the flywheel gear. Can the starter be removed without taking any other components off (for example the alternator or flywheel)? If it is just the bendix/gear, can it be replaced? Are there any special alignment adjustments when reinstalling the starter? Thanks, Chuck D.

As I recall, three socket-head cap screws hold it on. There is an adapter nose that will come off the starter when the starter is removed, and it can only be reinstalled one way, I have found.
