Default Starter removal issue

In preparation for removing the steering column from my ‘31 s/w sedan, I had to pull the starter. Turns out that the previous owner had installed a “modern” Bendix drive, and the head of it was so large that I couldn’t get it past the flywheel ring gear without removing the water inlet ( lower gooseneck). Which of course meant draining the coolant… what a PITA! Has anyone run into this before? I can see where this would make working on the starter at the side of the road into a major undertaking.

It isn't a defect, it's a feature!
