The 12v power suppy makes all this much easier.
Shawn ended up ignoring the blue tape because he could move the rotors into place with the motor.
Remove two screws from the two "pontoons" that enclose the seat rail shish kebabs. Actually, the two Torx screws are what hold the kebab in place, through the holes on either side of the kebab holder.
Shawn writes:
The two Torx screws free the bottom part of the rails which lets them move freely. Then it is one larger torx screw at the end of the long screw the kabobs fit on to set that free.

Two small Torx screws free the kebab from the pontoon, one large Torx screw at the end frees the shish skewer- and the now released kebab.
