Expy Starter problem

I was just told that my starter was bad. what are the chances the solenoid is the only problem? It is getting juice at the starter but takes several clicks of the ignition to get it to turn.

If I have to change the starter, what type of tools will make the job easier for me?

What year is your Expy? What are the symptoms? Does it turn slow or click a few times then spin normal?

Lots of 1/4" drive extentions and a 1/4" uinversal joint. If I remember right there are three 13MM bolts and 2 cables one 13mm nut and one bigger- cant remember for sure. Not an easy job laying on your back - ton easier on a lift but often there is no choice.

Make sure you have the parts store bench test the starter before you buy a new one.
