Unless it's really, really jammed you shouldn't need to run the motor. Just engage back gear and then pull the drive belt in reverse by hand - works on my M-Type.
I found a method on youtube, open the cover and slide a boa-grip or similar over the larger gear and use a wrench on the jaw. Worked fine after I foun d a good grip supplier
