Re: Rebuild started solonoid?

I think it would be easier to remove the starter and place it on a bench.

In addition to the large nuts and the copper buss bar to the starter terminal that also comes off, the cover is held by two terminal screws going to the coil (also with insulation) and two screws which hold the actual cover. There is a gasket behind the cover which may stick.

You may be able to just turn the bolt in place but if not, to remove the relay and contact assy from the solenoid, there is another screw on the rear which comes out. One of the large solenoid coil wires is soldered to a plate under one of the copper bolts. The bolt needs to be completely out so the plate can be freed and assy removed. Bolt kind of slides thru as you pull the relay assy away and a washer or part of the insulation may drop as the bolt comes thru. Trying to do all that leaning over the fender and then not dropping something or being able to reach everything would be a challenge.
