Hi guys, I have a 2009 Vector with the bad starter. The drive gear on the old starter has a tiny bit of burr feeling on the teeth, so I decided to check the gears. I can't get the stator cover off! I have followed the instructions in the pinned thread, but a question, the stator cover has 10 stainless cap screws and 1 black cap screw near the stator wire loom that had yellow lock tite on it, does it need to be removed or is this fixed to an internal that would impede the cover removal? I understand the magnetism from the windings will impede the removal, but short of prying it, I can't get it off. I have it loose and can get the front edge open a 1/4" or so, but the back side seems to be held internally. Any advise will be appreciated.
