Welcome to the VFF!
Try wacking it out with a piece of wood and a hammer when its unbolted and or rock her in 3rd gear at the same time .. once you remove it see if the armature shaft is bent which could be the cause of it getting stuck to begin with. Also check to make sure the ring gear is fully seated on the flywheel3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

ckain16, WELCOME to VFF, glad to have you around!!
I've always just placed the car in 3rd and rocked it back to dislodge the starter.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

I've never had one fail to release when I put the car in third and rock it. Unbolting it would be the next thing to try, then rock it again. I'd hate to think you need to remove the end plate and case to turn the armature with a strap wrench. That would really be extreme, but I do recall someone saying they had to do that.

In DIFFICULT cases, remove starter bolts & WHAM the top of the starter with a 4 X 4 & a BIG HAMMER.
Don't remember the location, but Chief drilled a hole in the forward, right side of the bell housing & used a BIG screwdriver to unlock them. Also handy when trying to find the timing gear DIMPLE GOODY!
