I just use a small pick or flat blad on the back. I don't know if it'll lock out off the car.

did you have to pull it very far - I pulled it as far as it would go - and propped it - then put it in and pulled the prop - stayed in place - I want to check the teeth before trying to start it - does any of that sound ok - if not I will pull it and try again - don't want to break anything

i just wanted to reach out and say thanks again for all of the input and help - the new powermaster 9600 - started the engine - it did take 2 shims supplied with the starter - i will still go back and cover the open gap at the bottom where the starter did not fully cover - the new positive cable fit fine and reached with only a little extra tugging - all of the other connections reached fine as well - i am going to do some tests on the old starter to see what exactly was wrong - but that will come later - driving comes first!

thanks again everyone!
