Step 7
- Use the 2.5 mm hex key to loosen the 3x8 mm screws to remove the motor plate.
- Use the 2 mm hex key to loosen the 3 mm grub screw enough to remove the pinion gear from the motor.
- Slide the pinion gear right off the motor’s external rod when loose enough.
- Make sure to have the pinion gear in the exact same area as it was on the replaced motor in order to align with the device’s gearing.
- This process can also be used to put an even better motor in as a replacement during reassembly.
