Not necessarily. It depends how long it rubbed and the amount of damage. Take it apart and see. A rebuild shop will know what to do with the box of parts if it looks okay. Napa probably knows of a shop not too far...or can do it.
On mine the 2 long bolts that hold the case on were loose due to the rear bracket being loose. The armature had been rubbing against to field bad enough to stop the starter from turning. It cranked slowly when hot. After we pulled it apart, greased and tightened everything correctly it worked fine. Was this the best way to fix it? No. But we only run the truck on private property and short distances at that. So I can live with it. I'm definitely on the lookout for another 24 volt starter.
