swapping starter solonoid?



so i've had intermittant "clicking" when i turn the key for several months 
now that was becoming more frequent. chased it to the solonoid. i had a 
spare starter that's been lying around for about 3 years now that i bench 
tested (it worked after some liberal pb blasting) and installed. although it 
now works, it turns over less than enthusiastically, which may or may not 
improve with use. i tried removing the solonoid, which appears to be held on 
with 3 screws, and swapping it, but i couldn't get the damn screws out and i 
was tired of messing with it.  is this all there is to it? any tricks to 
removing stubborn screws? on a related note, my car now sounds completely 
different when starting. it's very strange.
