    Well i did it today. It was much more easy than i thought it would be. I didnt take the seat out, i just slid the seat as far back as it would go and removed the cable from the front. I didnt have to cut the jacket either. Turns out that the cable got disconnected from the other end, so it didnt have anything to do with the motor. Used a drill to spin the seat back into place and its working fine now. The whole process took me about an hour, but think i could do it in half the time the second time around. THANK YOU ALL! You guys were a big help.

    i'm going to attempt this tomorrow. hopefully i can do eet without taking the seat out. it does look really cramped there....

    will the seat kind of like adjust itself after i do this, and move to a normal position?

    If you try this withoutn removing the seat, an 8mm Gearwrench is a very useful tool for removing the motor bolts - space is really tight.
