Turn the pulley over and keep trying to push it in,like u said cogs not lined up :kiss

Hi

The pinion gear wont touch the flywheel so that wont stop it going in, the gear actually is on Bendix drive that throws the gear forward to engage the flywheel, is it the same starter, maybe your trying to fit 6 volt starter in a 12 volt hole, the 6 volt starter uses a larger shaft.

yea well I got both bolts in but, yeah it was like about 3/4 inch still sticking out,I wiggled & jiggled & @#$%^&$#@~

its a 64 so I just thought it would be a 6v a Auto elec checked my old one out & said it was stuffed & said just get another so i havnt got the old one 2 compare to it & cant see a 6v or 12v stamped on the starter~

Hi

The starter should have the voltage stamped on the casing, sounds like you have the wrong starter.

Steve

yea no stamp on casing that I can see what appearance differences are there between 6 & 12 , ~THANKS aLL~

BANG~ THERE U GO my 64 beetles got a 12 volt STARTER~ i think the auto elec didnt give a #@#@! when he told me it was a 6~ Gary @ Wolfsburg kindly swapped it over~ & shes in TRYN to turn over nicely~ sounds like new~ thanks all for your help~
