Both nuts on the stater require a 10 mm Allen drive bit, and the top one is probably a little easier to get at with the driver's side wheel off ... if you reach over the top of the transaxle. The nuts are different, one is turned-down a bit for clearance, and the bottom one can be replaced with a plain, 17 mm nut, just like VW's use. The only explanation i know of for how the inside of a starter gets rusty ... is spashed water from puddles, because my car's underside isn't rusty, either, but there WAS rust on the solenoid shaft, inside the starter!
0.08 hp, huh, no wonder it's a little 'feeble' when hot!
I usually make the determination on rebuilding based on the condition of the commutator ... pitted and grooved gets sent to the shop for an appointment with a lathe.
