Subject: Starter adapter drive

Has anyone ever replaced a starter adapter drive on a TSIO550? (this has the turbo scavenger pump on the back of it)
 
I currently have the problem of the starter motor running but the prop not turning past a compression stroke.  I am told that the whole assembly has to come off the back of the engine and the shaft and spring replaced or rebuilt.  The problem I have on the IV is the distance from the back of the shaft to the firewall is only 2 or 3 inches.  I don't think this is enough room to slide the assembly out.  Will the engine have to be moved forward to remove this assembly?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
