your gears prob fell to pieces, as many are made of plastic. Happened to me, I had to remove position sensors/cam and rebuild it for now w/o them...still works, just have to stop pressing the sw before it goes too far or it'll strip the main drive screw. Yes, you can twist the knurled knob by hand w/the motor removed. You'll see when you have it apart, there used to be nice pics posted here...

BTW the trick, if I remember, is to pop out the center bezel (w/the lights) in order to get the whole ass'ly off... hope that helps.

just a suggestion... you MUST put everything in positioned correctly beforehand, and even if you do.... if your car is exposed to anything outside of room temp those gears will be toast again in a yr or 2. My advice is to get a few spare motors (cheap, from a boneyard) and lose the cams entirely. You really don't need 'em - they will always wind up breaking anyway. My $.02.
