Thumbs down Starter Switch

Ok, so I am changing out my battery cables. As I am disconnecting the positive connectors from the starter (the smaller wire) the bolt just breaks off the starter switch. I have found places that sell the starter switch but I am wondering if it is even possible for me to replace that or if I am just better off replacing the entire starter? Any words of wisdom? Oh btw:

2001 F250 7.3

My reasoning for replacing the cables is because the terminals were damaged from repeated removing and corrosion seeping under the shielding.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I didn't een know they still sold the starter relays, good find. I have not done a starter on my truck yet, so I can not help you with you answer. But if it was me, I would start pulling the old one off, if it isn't a problem, then just replace the sol, if it becomes a problem, you haven't lost anything but time. Good luck!!
