2007 Sportman 500 HO EFI starter replacement

Guys,

Starter began to show problems a few weeks ago. New battery (other one bad) didn’t help. New starter solenoid didn’t help.

Turn on the switch … fuel pump charges the fuel system. Key the switch and click … the starter solenoid goes.

Seems to leave the starter. Anything more I should do before going after the starter?

Rear deck and rear clip is already off. Not obvious how one gets at the starter. How does one change that out?

Thank you very much!
