Maybe you can find what the front of slide is binding on and save a trip to the shop. Good luck
Keep us posted

I can almost guarantee with 100% certainty that unplugging the motors won't be enough to push in a slide with a football team. You might..... and I say might.... get very lucky with a 300:1 motor and a very small slide but never with a 500:1 motor.

I have took a wrench once and put it on a 500:1 motor shaft and tried to spin it behind. You can get the shaft to budge with the gear reduction in it. You have to manually disengage the motors to push in a slide.

The OP PM'ed me and I gave him the following two procedures to try from the LCI Service Manual.
