Experience
Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.

Question
I found that I need to replace the starter gear on my rider. I have taken the motor cover off and I still can't reach the one bolt that holds the starter in place. Can you help me?
Answer
Is the bolt behind the flywheel? If so, you will have to remove the flywheel. An electric or air impact wrench is a very handy tool for removing and installing the flywheel nut.
You will also need a flywheel puller tool to remove the flywheel. You can sometimes use other tools for a flywheel puller; I use a generic old-school wheel puller tool. It is basically a universal puller with long grooves for using on different flywheels.
Goole flywheel pullers and you will find several pullers which will give you an idea on what you need.
Let me know if you have any questions on removing the flywheel.
Eric
