Tom,

This question is asked by everyone who does this the first time. And 
no, I don't remember the exact method of getting it out, but it DOES 
come out. I seem to remember angling it toward the front of the door 
and then dropping it out through the lower hole.

Just keep trying... It WILL come out!
You don't have to remove the motor.

You'll probably find that it's the large nylon gear that's going 
south. The vendors have a nice brass direct replacement for it that 
works better and lasts longer.

good luck,

Kirby
