"I noticed the solder from the armature is melted."
That's a problem!!! I had a bad armature a few years ago in an old starter motor. Went over to a local rebuilding shop specializing in electric motors. I thot they mite have a spare used armature laying around.

INSTEAD and much to my suprise they took the bad armature i had and some way heated it with a torch and pushed on it with a wooden dowl some way. They did it while i waited and i was about 10 feet away from the process.

They handed it back to me and charged me about $10. Said there was only a 30% chance it would NOT work. IT worked just fine.
