Jammed the mount while slewing

A couple of nights ago, while slewing I didnt notice my guider cable got caught on the external accessories tray, it jammed the mount while slewing and I heard these loud gear jarring noise. I stopped it after about 3 seconds.

I did try to slew it again and it worked smoothly with no noticeable funny noises or gear damage. I tried a quick 2 min guided tracking and imaging and it seems to worked fine.

Have I damaged the worm gears? is there anyway to open and check?
