There are trillions of tutorial like this, I know :-)
They where taking at school during lunch break with a Sony Mavica camera ( floppy disk )!

Step 1: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
The recommended tools for this project:
1 x safety glasses!!
1 x soldering iron
1 x desoldering pump
1 x wire strippers
1 x side cutter
1 x scissors, knife, x-acto, etc
You will need a set of screw driver to remove the four screws on the back of the servo.

Step 2: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
I put a peace of tape so the gear box does not come appart when I remove the back cover.
Step 3: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
Remove the back cover by removing four screws.
Step 4: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
If you use a solder pump, it will be easy to desolder.
Step 5: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
Be sure you have remove every solder before starting lifting.
When you are sure, take a flat screw driver to lift it.
When you are sure, take a flat screw driver to lift it.
Step 6: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
Solder long wire to the motor.
Use the original servo wire. Remove the white wire.
Use the original servo wire. Remove the white wire.
Step 7: How to Modify a Servo Motor for Continuous Rotation ( One Motor Walker Robot )
This is the inside of the gear box.

After some thinking, I realise that you don't need to cut the tap for the one motor walker.
If you want to build the one motor walker, I suggest you try the to build the robot without cutting the tap.If you want to make a rolling robot by using servo motors for the locomotion then cut the tap.
To cut the tap please read carefully.
Warning!
I have already broken the entire gear by using a side cutter. I was sort of piss off!
I recommend you be carefull and use a hacksaw.
Take your time!
Put every thing back together and you have finish!
You can put some new grease it the gearbox if you want.
