Ok, so we have a 1989 S-10 Blazer, 2WD with the craptacular 2.8L in it. Anyway, the starter is pretty much dead, and it looks to be teh drive gear. I haven't pulled it and looked at it, but im almost pretty much 100% sure that the overrunning clutch on it is toast. So rather than 100 bucks or so for a new starter, i wanna toss in the $10 to get a new clutch and gear, and reuse whats good in the old starter.

Now to my question. Unbelievably, i dont have a chiltons for this thing yet. Even then, im not sure that it would tell me how to rebuild a starter. Anywho, do you know if there are any other parts needed? I dont think there are, but before a order just the drive end, im curious if there are any bushings, bearings, washers, or any other minor parts i will need to replace this part? Id hate to pull it, dissasemble it, and find out that i need a bearing.

If any of you know, id appreciate it. And not just for this particular car, but for any car in general if you happen to know.
