Get rid of the electrical actuator and replace it with the new hydraulic actuator!
Electric engine hatch actuators are a hassle and like to fail.
You will be much happier with a hydraulic actuator, the old days they would use a drive ram. But there is a company out there that sells the whole new kit now.

I agree, if it gets stuck you will have a mess. Its crapped out, all moving parts wear out, replace it soon or you will regret it. Just think about July 4th weekend and it gets stuck OPEN ALL WEEKEND
