stuck in park, engine out

[grumpenstein]

Yep I messed up! I just finished pulling the 4.0 from my 04 4x4 Explorer only to find out I can't roll the truck backwards. I looked for a park over ride but don't see a door under the column just a small rubber plug with nothing mechanical under it. I can't really sit the motor anywhere without moving the truck. What to do?? Thanks in advance

Just disconnect the shifter cable at the transmission and move the lever on the transmission. Make sure wheels are chocked and e brake set.

Override is under the steering wheel, it's in the owners manual.
