[Fot] More on my TR-2/3 Starter Question

[Randall]

Jack, my apologies if I misunderstood your last email.  I thought you were
still trying to get the pinion & barrel off.

IIRC, on my starter, you have to push the "nut" towards the armature, and
pry out a clip that is normally trapped between it and a groove in the
shaft.
