I had one like that, no rocking or pushing would free it and removing the mounting bolts didn't help either so I removed the outer starter case and put a large pipe wrench on the armature gave it a twist and it came loose. The armature wasn't damaged but the main problem was the pinion gear teeth were worn and galled, that's why it jammed in the first place. A new Bendix solved the problem.
