97 astro starter

My Astro stater seems to have died this morning. I've got plenty of
battery and ran a jumper on it but when I try to start all I get is
one click from the solenoid trying to give it juice but nothing
happens.
I removed the large cable and cleaned the teminal but that doen't
work.
There was no warning that there was any problems. It sat overnite and
just seems to have died.
Any ideas or suggestions on removing the starter?
Thanks

When my battery died, it acted like someone shot it. Worked fine one
minute, and nothing the next.
One thing to watch out for is the battery cables. I have had cables that
were corroded under the insulation. Had no idea they were bad till I cut
into them.

Turned out to be the cable on the solenoid to the starter motor.
Dropped the starter to get to it and cleaned all the connections.
Started right up.
