Default Help !! Ventus CM- engine stuck

After stowing the engine on a self-launch I heard a high pitched
whine. I turned off the circuit breakers.. The problem is now I can
not extend the engine. The circuit breaker will pop if it is reset.
Any ideas on how to extend a stuck engine? ( other than cutting a hole
in the side of the fuselage)

If it comes down to cutting, I'd rather have to repair an engine bay
door than get into the fuselage structure.

You can manually pull open the engine bay doors and then unbolt them. I just wasn't sure if unbolting the jackscrew actuator was the only option.
