Is it possible to replace a starter gear without the c-ring special tools 19522 remover and 19435 installer? I have the new aluminum gear installed on the flywheel, now looking to change the starter gear.

Thx.

it is possible but the tools save alot of cusing bloody nuckles and looking for flying parts good luck

I hear you - but it's more than $50 of tools to replace a 1cent c-ring. Just wondering how much aggravation it is to do without.
