That should be it but the the bolts to put into the end of the starter to help lift it out.

hey thanks reply well got it out once done once it easy starter cleaned spotless put back but still slips most of the time (slips less if battery is flat ) have bypassed solonoid and any earth problems looks like starter gear

shame cant find another starter to try

When I took the engine on my 79 CB750 apart, we noticed the starter clutch/drive assembly was not securely bolted together.  This may have caused the spinning problem that would occasionally happen when cranking the starter.  I never got the chance to re-test it, as I sold the pieces parts to someone else.

I think there were 3 or 6 bolts that held the clutch to the starter ring.  I can't recall the exact parts count, but I'm sure there's a picture of it in the FSM.
