never never never hit a starter with a hammer or anything else except in an emergency to get home... VERY often the "love tap" will break or dislodge the magnets making the starter junk
Most likely this isn't the starter anyhow.... the bendix isn't stuck and if it was the starter would still crank the engine
Most likely your slave solenoid (not on the starter) has given up the ghost... feel free to give IT a little tap
