Atomic 4 ring gear

Hi, the starter on my atomic 4 stuck on the on position grinding the side of my ring gear, does anyone know if I can remove the ring gear by heating it up or another method, take it off and turn it around so that I end up with fresh teeth??? Thanks Pierre

The ring gear can be removed, However, it also slides away from the starter creating the grinding sounds you may hear. I pulled mine and peened it in place so it would quit sliding away from the starter.

Hi Pierre, I have several good flywheels with undamged ring gears. $50 plus shipping from 32507. Let me know if you have an early or late model A4 as the flywheels are different.
