Still fighting with it. Rocked it in gear several times. Still no luck. Will be trying again. Am not sure what to try next. There is no movement. It is as if it is still attached which it is not. I will continue to work on it but am open to suggestions.

Try putting the trans in first gear to give more movement when you try to push the car backwards. You must get the engine to turn backwards a small amount in order to free the Bendix from the ring gear. They usually make a loud noise when they break loose. It would be easier if you had a 51 or later as they had a small inspection pan that could be removed.

Dove tailing with TomO's last comment, pulling the spark plugs may facilitate more movement as well.
