Wow, congratulations. I destroyed a starter this way many years 
ago and was talked into a rebuilt starter because of it. I always 
regretted not trying to fix it and wondered if I could have 
succeeded. That happened in the years when I was first thinking 
about doing my own repairs. I think I would have done it myself 
except for the fact that I was very inexperienced and it was terribly 
cold outside and I needed to get the car running quickly.
