2 ways...either remove the starter or atleast loosen off the bolts so you can clear the flywheel.<br /><br />The other way is to pull the flywheel.<br /><br />The first one being the most practical for the DIY<br /><br />If you look under the bendix there should be a place to put a wrench. This will hold the bendix from turning. Next take a wrench and take the top nut off. Once removed take the retainer and spring off and the bendix. Replace the bendix and reinstall in the reverse order.<br /><br />TMD
