Subject:Starter solenoid: R&R?
From:Don Spence
Date:Mon, 4 Jul 2011 09:56:40 -0600

Trying to get my 83.5 wbx back on the road after sitting for the past
year plus.  Fresh battery  but when turning key to start I get
nothing. I did remove and replace the low amp wore to the solenoid a
few times, cleaned the grounds etc. After tapping the solenoid with a
large wrench it did work briefly but has now "gone back into
retirement".

What is the best/easiest way to remove it? Can it be disassembled and
cleaned or must I replace it?

Thanks in advance
Cheers
  Don
