my 2003 corolla, I banged it with wheel wrench and it started again,
I phoned the dealership, they are too busy this weekend.
Maybe I do it myself...
Is this pretty easy job without jacking up the car, ??
Thanks

All depends. Could be as simple as corroded starter contacts or a stuck bendix (corrosion or lack of grease). Unfortunately, aside from the contacts - pretty much everything else you need to do with the starter - you'll have to pull it off.
Not super hard to do - but lots of jumping around. Biggest issue with me was trying to get at the bolts (couldn't see the top one) - ended up moving a fair amount of stuff out of the way to make it easier for me (ie, removed intake manifold). That point - you can get at the top bolt pretty easily, I went under to take out the bottom bolt, but I guess you could pull everything from above.
I did it all from above, without removing intake manifold.
