Hi all. I've been lurking here for a while and learning lots, so I hope you can help me.

My electric starter is a hand-me-down antique of indeterminate age but still works fine. Lately the rubber cone insert has started shredding a bit, so I found a new replacement that looks to be just the right size. Is there any trick to replacing these things?

I can see the starter has three tabs that fit into three grooves in the outside of the cone, and there's a nut flush with the bottom of the cup. Tugging (not too hard) on the old cone doesn't seem to move it. Is this a friction fit, is there glue involved, or what?
