@wizofoz
Thanks for sharing your information.
Now with this new information, I may have tried to unblock (move) the motor even more before handing it in for repair.
For the forum here are news regarding my lens:
After trying the self-repair a couple of weeks ago without success, I decided to hand in my lens for repair.
At repair I have paid about 190 Euro. It took a week to fix it. As my lens is from 2008 there is unfortunately no warranty. They said "Kamera justiert,GMR-Sensor,,Focus-Motor erneuert") (exact translation to English: "Camera adjusted, GMR-Sensor,,Focus-motor renewed").
Just a comment: Well, I wonder what's the deal about 'Camera adjusted' because I did not send a camera in, but just a lens. Also I'd like to find out what GMR-Sensor means.
regards,
Particle

Thank you VERY MUCH for this guide. I have waited for this a long time. Because I did not want to go the risk of opening the lens without at least some chance of knowing how to do this and whether this may help out.
Achtually I registered now here because of this guide. In order to express my thankfulness to the thread opener as well as all people involved in making this information/knowledge public!
I have had my 16-50 for two years now and did not use it for almost one year. My SDM was stuck. I opened the lens. As flash_xx states, I felt that my motor was really stuck. I made it moveable again, but after reassembling the lens, the SDM-AF still does not work.
Does anyone know where to get a spare part of that piece for a good price? Preferably in Germany or Europe, but overseas also possible.
Or does anyone have any further idea (dismounting the motor and disassembling the motor itself)? Does anyone know how to proof-check that it's really the motor?
kind regards,
