Bobby's Prestolite starter on an O-200-A went T.U. The drive locked up. We want to replace it with a Skytec. No Problem--no, wait---there is a needle bearing for the Prestolite drive in the starter adapter between the engine cases. So if I try to pull the bearing out of the adapter, I see it deforming and dropping bearings into the accessory case. Crap! If I leave it in there I see bearings falling out during operation. Crap! Am I going to have to pull the engine and the accessory case because of that bearing just to put a starter on it? Crap! Skytec says I can leave the bearing in there, no problem. Have any of you mechanic types done this and left that needle bearing in there?
