New to posting. Posted in wrong forum.

Need help. 74 L. Headlight doors won't open. I moved motor away from door drive gear that mates with the 1/2 moon gear and motor operates fine in both directions.

I put a vice grip on the bar that connects both doors and dried to turn the bar to raise doors. Doors raise about 1/8 inch with a lot for force. Something is jammed.

The 1/2 moon drive gear is free from motor gear so I felt the doors should open when bar turned. They won't

Any suggestions.

If you have the motor gear separated from the half moon gear, you should be able to lift open the headlight doors with ease.
something must be jammed or bent that is preventing it from opening.
Pull the front wheels, and the removable splash shields and have a look to see what the problem might be.
Also inspect the half moon gear to see if it is catching on something.
