hello folks...I have a starter prob
I have removed to 2 short bottom bolts and the top long bolt...the starter will wiggle but not drop out...I gave it some taps with a hammer...no-go...hooked it back up and turned the motor over a couple times...unbolt...no-go...still wiggles but hangs up...took dust cover from bottom of flywheel and looked inside..gear is stickin' out a bit...but at least 1/2 inch from flywheel....any help appreciated...

just keep wiggling it.it will fall out but make sure your head aint under it.while its sota loose spray a good penetrating oil on it.its just a tight fit and a small amount of rust makes it worse.

What he said...it's most likley hung on the adaptor---it's about 1" thick.

Road dust, clutch dust etc....will filter in the tiniest places!

Go ape on it and it will come out...Sometimes you need to put your purse and away and beat it with your hammer....Just torturing the new guy...
