David Lieb got it right. After I confirmed that the bendix was not going to come unstuck without considerable force, I was more enthusiastic on the square shaft at the front, turning clockwise, which moves the bendix out. The completely new bendix gear is a bit chewed up. I don't know what the ring gear looks like.
I will not return that starter to the car until it is starting and running properly. Instead, I will use the gear reduction starter that Ron dislikes. I have been cranking too much for my battery anyway, so am jumping it to my minivan. There will not be a problem with low voltage.
