Update:
Thanks to whooligan who got me onto yesterford; Picked up a reconditioned starter motor for $125 trading in my current starter (put a $25 deposit it on it so I can take it back at a later date).
Was lucky enough to borrow some ramps of my friend Daniel (dbarkho) which made things an estimated 128% easier.
New starter in, kernel starts fine; a wash at the local carwash to celibrate.
