Sounds like bearing is gone to me. Take it to an automotive electrical shop.
 
Jim, there should be a little square shaft sticking out the front of the starter. (The part towards the front of the car.)
Try turning that and see if it doesn't free things up. It sounds as though your starter gear is stuck in the ring gear.

Oh, hehe, thought he had it out already. Could also try rocking the car a bit.

problem solved!
1.take ur common 3/4 inch wood chisel
and hammer it into the top edge between
the starter and the casing till its in
good..
2. pull the chisel out ....starter falls right out!
