Same here. We have a ratchet we can add if we need to but we haven't had too. The van door motor works great if you rotate it around a small diameter. And the small diameter will make backdriving more difficult. Especially with braking.

Close to your andy too. We used the pillow blocks with the 5/8" shaft. And our ratchet is top secret too.
