It was a long time ago and trying to recall what I did. I purchased a new motor on eBay but it was incorrect for my car. I decided to use the parts from it to restore my original motor and did not perform the work as described in the manual. I do remember spending a good amouint of time in various positions in the trunk.

The cable was stuck in the guide tube so I removed the side plate from the motor and then removed the gear. With the gear out the cable was free to slide out from the motor or the motor could be removed by sliding it free from the cable.

With the motor removed I was able to pull the cable out. The cable was disconnected from the sunroof earlier. I cannot recall if the cable was pulled out from the trunk or from the sunroof.
