Nevermind. The starter gear is already retracted. I can pull it out and it seems to be going back in quite normally.

Not really much room for that. It doesn't really seem like the starter at this point. It appears to be functioning normally and I don't see a significant amount of wear that you would expect from such a loud banging noise. The starter is an aftermarket unit and is clockable so I'll see if I can bolt it back up and see if it is still aligned well. I'll try and start her again after that.
