I don't recall (or know) whether the 756 starter is the same as the 856 and it's been eons since I saw one of those.
I would disconnect your positive lead from the batteries just so you don't have a wrench ground out somehow. If there is a way I always seem to do it. Leave all of the wires attached to the starter providing there is enough slack to back the starter out. You are going to want it nearly free of the bell housing. Use brake cleaner or carb cleaner to clean the devil out of the gear end, shaft and all (grab SWMBO's toothbrush to get the tough spots). You don't want all of that down in the housing so that's why you pull it away. Less chance of banging your knuckles, too.
Mine was always worse in the winter. The oil seep and dirt would get good and stiff in the cold. I would have to let it whirl a few times and then it would catch. It was pretty grisly in there.
