Where can I find a good starter solenoid only. The starter motor itself is good. I'd like to fix the solenoid but don't know how to open it up. It throws out the pinion gear fine. The only problem is that it doesn't put power to the starter motor.

I actually did find out that O'REilly's can order a BWD #s41397 which is the solenoid only for $164! That's just crazy.

I think Standard Motor Products makes a solenoid but in order to get the best price you'll have to order online most likely.
