July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Preliminary Tests

Disconnect battery negative cable. Remove starter from vehicle. Check pinion for free movement on shaft. Check armature for free rotation by prying pinion with a screwdriver. If armature does not turn freely, disassemble motor. If armature rotates freely, perform STARTER NO-LOAD TEST  before disassembly.
