Nah, replacing a starter is exciting!  I just did it on our '83 300D.....only took about 10-11 hours! We used an autozone rebuild, and it works excellent. $99 out the door and they had it in 1.5 days. It has new brushes, bearings, new solenoid, and was properly greased and looks great. We had him run it at the store to prove it was a good one, and it ran smooth and powerful. Cranks the engine over 2x as fast as the old one! (which had dead spots and you had to beat on it half the time to get it to work)
