let me know, I can help you, you can use my tools and I just need to take some photos for a write up.

I just rebuild my starter today but I lend my camera to a friend so I didn't have the opportunity to take photos.

give you 10 bucks for it seeing how I don't know if it's rebuildable and the shim may be too worn to be re-used

and that my effort is in attempt to aid nico and others who want to rebuild their starter

I almost cried the other day when my car didn't want to crank

try pushing your car against the uphill, then back down using the driveway to "jack up" the car. having one wheel on the sidewalk, and then changing the starter in 90+ degree weather at noon. one of the worst days ive had with my car

$10 is fine, ill let you know if im your area... or you could pick it up
