Auto Eject Mechanism For PB 500 Series - Stuck or Busted?

Paralel

68020
The PB 520 I have doesn't like to eject disks. It makes the sound like it's going to spit them out, but nothing happens, and then it just remounts the disk. Is it likely to just be stuck, or is it probably busted? Do I need to start looking for a new floppy drive?

 
Mechanism may be misaligned with plastic due to a drop or some other reason. Could remove keyboard and pull drive to test.

 
Mine does the same thing. I cant be bothered right now to figure out why. It actually ejects, but it hits the top of the plastic and holds the disk. Of course when the eject motor returns the disk falls back into place and re-reads.
