I would go ahead and replace, found my bushings in multiple pieces and I think parts is all of $25.

I have ordered the repair kit. MBCanada wanted C$89, so I ordered a Lemfoerder kit for about US$25 (plus shipping to Canada!)
My SL used to have a large diameter starter not far above the head of that bolt. The newer Bosch starter is much smaller. If the bolt will go in from top, I will do that. Better if nut comes off!
