You might be able to unbolt the two halves of the VCR to remove the tape, but it depends on the VCR type and how it's stuck. You might end up having to get it serviced, or just getting a new VCR, as I can almost guarantee the tape is probably damaged beyond recovery, unfortunately.

Can I get my stuck VHS tape out of my Panasonic VCR without disassembling it?

Here are some steps you can try:
  1. Unplug the VCR and wait for it to cool down. A warm VCR can cause the tape to expand, making it harder to remove.
  2. Locate the cassette holder release button, which is typically located on the front or side of the VCR. Press the button to open the cassette holder.
  3. Gently pull the tape out of the VCR using your fingers. If the tape is stuck, try gently rocking it back and forth or wiggling it to loosen it.
  4. If the tape is still stuck, try using a pair of tweezers or a pencil to gently push the tape out of the VCR. Be careful not to damage the tape or the VCR.
  5. If the above methods do not work, you can try turning the VCR upside down and gently shaking it to try to loosen the tape.
  6. If none of the above methods work, you may have to disassemble the VCR to remove the tape. This should be done by a professional as it can cause damage to your equipment and void the warranty.
It's important to remember that attempting to forcefully remove a stuck tape can cause damage to both the tape and the VCR, so it's best to be patient and use gentle techniques.

The vhs cassettes keep being ejected when put in the vhs player

Well the vcr might be broken for the part that allows the tape to sit in there or something is stuck inside of the vcr so it will need to be fixed.

Tape seems to be stuck to itself, I can't free it up

I think you are refering to the tape itself in the VHS cassette and it not being stuck inside the Video itself!
So if you are... don't use the spray... video cassettes have a brake system inside them. It sometimes breaks. If you turn the cassette upside down so you can see the white reels, inbetween them near the bottom (where the side label goes) you will see a small hole. If you put a pen inside it should release the reels so you can turn them with your finger. If they don't turn it may be broken. In which case... Get hold of a blank tape, the same length as yours. Carefully remove the screws (5) on the bottom. See how it's put together. Once you understand how the tape moves etc. Take out the reels with the tape, then dismantle your video and put the reels with the old tape into the new holder. It should work as good as new.
PS try not to touch with fingers the tape.

VCR kicks out cassettes

Sounds as if something got bent in the loading mechanism when you freed the stuck tape. Careful examination of the loading operation with the cover off may reveal the problem, but you may require a service shop, as there are hazardous voltages present inside, even when switched off.

Cassette stuck in video

I am a sanyo VCR technician and i will share to you what i had encountered. the problem of your VCR is in the mechanism "slide front" unable to push out the ejector portion of the tape. If you can locate this part just push it so that the tape will eject.
