Thank you compress ignite for the link. I definitely would like to rebuild over shelling out for a """"""new"""""" starter. Unfortunately since its my DD i need to be fairly sure I can take out the starter and put it back in same day (or next day if the weekend).
If you are thinking of buying the solenoid end cap from Wagner (which is what sounds like is damaged on yours), don't bother, since it is crimped and you probably won't be able to get it apart and back together without ruining the crimp. If you need a solenoid housing, I have a good used one (Bosch). You know the trick getting the solenoid screws out without snapping them?
