<VV> starter clicks

Starter just clicks when I turn the key. I checked all ground
connections, and starter's getting juice. I tried arcing the solenoid
with a screwdriver. Starter still just clicks. I bypassed the 2 prong
connector before the starter. Wire running directly from coil to
starter, same thing with ground (purple wire) to solenoid. Do I have a
bad solenoid? Just trying to start the car after cold adjusting valves.
At first it fired right up, but wouldn't run, died right away. Did this
a couple of times, then the starter jammed. I will also mention that
when I tried disconnecting the wire on the positive terminal on the
solenoid, guess what, it's rusted. The whole shaft turns, so I just
pulled the old wire off. Problem is, I have no way of connecting the new
wire, so I just have it sort of wrapped around the terminal for now. I
thoght of temporarily connecting it with an alligator clip. Also, I have
another starter and solenoid, but I can't get the solenoid off, or the
inboard starter bolt loose. Just cant reach in and get the right
leverage on it to break it loose. Any suggestions?
Frustration mounting,
