When trying to start, the bendix will not release from the flywheel. Starter replaced yesterday and the ignition switch has been replaced. Checked the connections on the switch. The right colors are on the right letters. Before putting the ignition switch back into the dash, the bendix released. Once the ignition switch put into dash the bendix again will not release. Any suggestions?

the pinion should be oiled but not rusty or greased ..wash in parafin not petrol so it rotates easy ..oiled like a rifle barel but not oily as that attracts **** bits ....ensure the solenoid is not sticking when you release the key....
