Step 10Install the new gears
Put the new gears on the motor and axle shafts by lining up the holes and pressing. The new parts will likely be a tight fit and need persuading. The very best tool for this is a 1/2" socket with an extension arm. Place it over the gear hole and tap lightly with a hammer to seat the gear just right. Don't sink it too far, you don't want the back of the gear rubbing against anything.

I used a 1/2" drive extension (6") to tap on the gears. The 1/2" socket on the extension did not work well for me. Also, spend a little time cleaning up old black rubber material on shafts and housings before installing gears.
