I pulled the starter last night, easy job, maybe 15 minutes which was nice.
I put it on the becnh and tested it per John Twists video.
First few times I heard a slight clicking noice but the arm didn't move.
I banged it with a hammer a couple of times on the solenoid and tried it again and it freed up.
Ran it on and off on the bench and 3 out of 4 times it worked, bt the other 25% of the time it got stuck.
I looked at taking it apart and trying to clean it up or maybe replace the solenoid but I don't think it is worth the effort at this point of time.
Aftermarket replacement starters are $125 and the hi torque ones are $250. While I am getting tired of pouring more money into this car I feel like the hi torque starter might be the way to go.
I just want to get the thing running
