I'm restoring an HS40 for a Rupp mini bike. One of the 4 studs in the blower housing for the recoil starter is stripped beyond repair. The studs look like they are pressed into the blower housing from the inside. (Hopefully they are not welded in!)
I'm wondering if I can press out the bad one and replace it. I don't see these studs listed as separate part numbers - only as part of the blower housing.
Any ideas on where I can get a stud in good shape? Is it possible to press out these studs without damaging the blower housing?
Thanks!!
