Somewhere in the city in which you live is a small 2 - 3 man starter -
alternator rebuild shop.

If the floor looks as if it only gets swept once a week - that's your
place.

If English is the second language - another plus.

Take your disabled starter (hopefully you still have the original
Delco/IHC starter) in, watch and wait while they rebuild it.

Works good with alternators too.

Another tip - my starter man tells me that Delco/IHC type starters are
also used on water craft as marine starters.  According to him that is the
main difference between them and the Autozone rebuilds.  The Autozone's
are not heavy duty enough.

YMMV
