GE Disposall hums, doesn't budge

My GE Disposall hums but the spinning part doesn't budge.I can't see any junk in there that would stop the spinning.I couldn't get it going with a broomstick -- the broomstick can't even rotate the thing either.There is no wrench-socket on the bottom to get the mechanism moving.What do I try next?

It's not as if they take a unique size or anything. I just grabbed one from the set I had in the garage.

Right and I'm pretty sure I've seen them on different makes too. If you have the problem more than once, you could use some masking tape to secure one to the side of the unit. That's actually a good idea for the manufacturers they could have a clip on the side to hold it.
