Also the work you described to lube it, is this easy for a non-mechanical diy-er?

If it is the starter Bendix drive, the noise you hear is when it is grinding the teeth on the flywheel. Over time, this will ruin both the starter and the flywheel, and while the starter is relatively cheap, the flywheel costs about a grand, and cost about two grand to get at and change.
