Starter brushes inside your starter are worn out normally I will refurbish it but better to get another starer

So it's the brushes? It's weird when I turn the key it makes a clinking sound off the flywheel or something. Would tapping it with a hammer work temporarily?

The resistance you're feeling when you turn the crankshaft by hand is from the compression of the engine. Perfectly normal. Sounds like a bad starter. Hope that helps! Jim
