Electric seatbacks: motor whirrs, no seat movement

Hey there, just wondering if there is a typical problem with the seatback on my 96 850 sedan where the motor is working but the seat isn't moving. Is there a worn wormgear or something? Figured I'd ask before tearing in there and poking around...

A little involved, but you can do it:

I have done this repair to my car. Feel free to ask any questions you have. I found that it is easier to remove the seat from the car before you start. Makes it much easier!!
