Pentair Pump Not Running

[rthompson869]

I have a Pentair 1.5 HP Model SF-N1-1-1/2A.
It is getting power, but it is not starting. I am hearing a clicking sound and the pump is getting hot. Which has me thinking it's shot. (It seems to be pretty old (Seen Below)

I believe it is time for a replacement, but was hoping to learn of any troubleshooting ideas before doing so.

It seems like these come in two pieces? Is the whole thing typically replaced? or is the front end of it (the pump) usually replaced?

Front of the pump is the wet end volute, rear of the pump is the electrical motor. There are seals between the two to keep water away from the motor.

Lots of YouTube videos that show how pool pumps are disassembled.

You can check the capacitor in the motor hump.
