Same thing I would have to do... Google (or Duck Duck Go) search. If I could see an exploded view and parts list I could probably recall what parts were commonly replaced. Then everything has to be reassembled and aligned exactly right by the book with the little marks on the gears lined up. One tooth off and it won't work properly. Don't know what else to tell you.
