Hitting a starter is always a bad idea. Sometimes you have to do it out of necessity but you never want to make a habit out of it. If it was just a little stuck that could have been remedied by hitting it with PB Blaster now the magnets are probably cracked. You might want to go ahead and get a new one.

Yep replacing tomorrow, any tips on the install seems pretty straightforward? Chevy wanted 2 to 400 bucks for a brand new one. Probably get a reman from napa

It's really easy. Two bolts and two wires. I think its 5/8, can't remember. Pay attention to the shims that will fall out when you remove the old starter. They need to go back.

i ordered the old style big one because thats what my oem one is. $79.99 + 12 core + 3.10 tax - 30 discount = $65.09 in store pickup

Sounds like a plan. Take pics of the old one, I want to see the case.

You probably know this but remember to disconnect battery when you remove starter.
