Welcome to Landyzone.

If it is a single click then it is most likely your starter is goosed. If it is multiple clicks as you describe then a flat battery or a dodgy connection are likely. Test the battery first. It is the simplest and most likely culprit.

Check the wires are clean and secure anyway but it sounds like your starters had it.

I haven't removed one off a TD but it should just be a case of removing the wires and unbolting it. If you post the question in the defender section you'll get a better response.

No idea what the answer to your question is but I would suggest changing your username to something different from your email addy.

Get a big hammer - the whack will loosen it and it will amazingly and miraculously work again for a short time (no, really, it will!) If not the battery isn't delivering enough power.
