If you are a little mechanical and don't mind laying on your back, you can figure it out for sure. You need two people. You need to find the two wire connector and be ready to unplug it when the other person opens or closes the door. Unplug the plug when its halfway through. That takes the tension off the driving arm. Take out the little cotter key and pull out the pin. The steps will be free to swing in and out. They should go all the way up and all the way out with no resistance. THis lets you lube away and manipulate them as needed. If they are already swinging free, you have a bad ground or a failing motor. T
THe two wires are power; one in, one for out. THere is a separate ground wire. I had a ground wire that had a bulge in it and it was a nick that corroded from road salt I guess.
I have a different type of step. No "swinging" with mine at all....its all IN or OUT...and the whole gizmo is covered by a sheet metal plate that has to come off first
