Got restless and went into garage. Took closer look with flashlight and saw the little 8mm bolts attached to the cable housings. Removed both and pulled. I was worried about tearing the headliner, so I pulled off the entire rear area above window and pulled through that opening. I went ahead and took some of the weight off the liner using the blue tape. (If you were wondering) The end piece on passenger side is jb welded and freshly crimped for good measure, hence why I did not pull all the way out. I also removed the motor and bench tested with 9v battery (spins like a champ) more pb blaster and a few tugs with no give on passenger side. Gave it a good pb soaking and am going to let it creep over night and will try again on my way out tomorrow a.m. Any other tips, tricks or advice is appreciated.
Will report back with results tomorrow.
