    Tow thing   you said " it binds up mechanically " ? but if you  OPEN  up 
the Limit switch it works.
 
The    TANG protruding inside the ring gear is the mechanical lever to open the 
limit switch, in it's Stop binding condition, is the tang engaged in the CW 
Stop switch ( it should be open and the CCW switch should be   closed ? )
