Should just take the electric motor off. You should be able to turn the opener valve wheel by hand with the motor off.

See the big plastic **** on my opener (yours will be smaller if you have the factory one, I think it was actually knurled head on the thread from the factory)? Unscrew what you got where that big plastic **** is on my photo, then lift the opener assembly off the valve. That will expose the valve handle that the motor turns.

You can get the instruction set for it at the NX site if you hunt fer it.

Unless you have the 'old' style NX opener. In which case you need to un-clamp it every time. Kinda a PITA.
Beer has the 'new' NX opener (made for the past 3 or 4 years now), which has a single thumb screw which holds it on.
