While trying to fix my 2N the starter locked up. I first tried rocking
it by hand. No luck. Then chained the FEL on my 8n to the front
bumper and rocked it in all gears. No luck. I loosen the starter bolts
a little and banged it with a hammer. No luck. Decided to pull the
starter but the front plate of the starter wouldn't release from the
bell housing. Do I have to pull the starter casing off from the
aperture now? Then maybe I can work it back and fourth till it
releases? I've checked the archives and seems I've done every thing
suggested. But didn't find how to pull a lock up starter. I do have a
new style bendix on hand that I could put on it
it by hand. No luck. Then chained the FEL on my 8n to the front
