Good point.
Smack it with a hammer! Hey, if it breaks you need a new one anyway. :D

The hammer or the starter?;ay
I have a hammer here that's been handed down through the generations. Been in my family for decades. It's totally original.....just replaced the head twice and the handle four times, but's it all original! A lovely old hammer....they just don't make 'em like that anymore.;laugh
Adam:
Tried to connect it direct via jumper leads and still nothing so obviously the starter and/or solenoid is gone. So I took it out now, and yea still doesnt work.
I'll prolly just get a reconditioned starter from a wreaker... unless thats a bad idea?

Brutus:
I have always dealt direct with auto electricians....never through a wrecker! Play it safe an go with the guys who repair starters for a living....not the ones who merely know where they are on a car.;ay
77CVT:
I understand Bob's view but it comes down to how much you are prepared to spend.
I needed an alternator for my '77. It was going to cost $300 to recondition it......or buy one from the wreckers for $50. Guess which one I chose?
Then again, an alternator is easier to replace than a starter motor!
The White Knight:
I just had the same thing happening to me. I got my mechanic to pull the starter out & he cleaned it all up & straightened the brushes have not had a problem since.
