On the copper disk inside the solenoid. I see there are 2 skrews that hold the plastic end where the terminals are.

Do I just keep pulling to get it off?

Any idea what a new solenoid costs?


Thanks!
The solenoids should cost about $25

There are one or two studs that sticks out of the back of the cover each has a nut that needs to come off, A wire may be attached to one or both, once the studs are loose in the cover it should slide off then, There are wires on the inside attached to each stud. One is the wire that excites the coil winding and makes the starter engage. The other if its there usualy goes to the coil to give full 12 volts while starting.
