Starter motor probs

Sorry also posted it in the toyota thread but should be in here i reckon.
Hey all well the starter motor is playing up in my hzj80 series. it's done 320,000 so don't really blame it. When I turn the key it just makes a click noise, rock it back and forward or tap it with a hammer and it works fine.
So i'd say the contacts have just worn away, whats the best/cheapest option?
Autospark down the road said $250 to remove, service and refit, or $185 just to service it if I take it off and refit it myself
Or.. Should I just check the paper n try get a secondhand one for like $100 and throw that one in?
Also is it possible to learn how to service the starter motor myself?
Cheers
