I've only removed it once when I did some transmission work many years ago.

Thanks for all the info guys. I will use it. Drove the vehicle all weekend never could get it to repeat the problem . I may go ahead and order the parts and have them on hand for when it happens again.

Thanks again

This is where I got my starter contacts. They were really 1st. class. Looks like they have gone up since I last ordered. I paid $5. for both contacts and $4.95 for shipping. Make sure and get the right kit for your car. http://www.nationsautoelectric.com/densoparts.html
Also a good tutorial for replacing the contacts.[/QUOTE]

I must apologize. I was mistaken on the source I posted here. This is actually the correct source and the contacts haven't gone up at all. They are $4.95 plus $5.25 shipping for BOTH contacts and they also have the plunger for $10.95. Outstanding parts at outstanding price and truly excellent service. http://www.iowamotorparts.com/denso_...noid_parts.htm
