Starter click
So the starter on my sc400 has been on it's way out and I planned on getting it done somewhere tomorrow. But unfortunately all I'm getting now is a click. I've gone out and tried multiple times, and was hoping to not have to pay for a tow bill as well.
Is there any tricks I can use to get at least one start out of it? Obviously I can't tap it with a hammer. I tried rocking the car back and forth it bit, but nothing seems to work.
Also how many hours of labor have you guys been quoted for doing a starter job? Alldata says 5.2, but a local shop with an ex Lexus dealer tech says they charge 8 hours.

Yeah I wish it was the battery, but it's been grinding the first start of the day for a while. Then it almost left me stranded a couple times, but I got it to start after several tries. Now it seems to be done for
I did try to jump it just to double check though lol.

Mikef, you are thinking of the 300. The 400 starter is buried in the center of the engine. You have to take off the air intake, throttle body, manifold and more to get at the starter. Easily a 5-6 hour job.
