Well, I had to stew on this for about 10 days. I finally figured out how to make a miniature spring compressor for the gear housing. On the eBay mirror I bought, the gears were misaligned inside the black housing.
I screwed around with the retaining ring not understanding that it was holding in a SpaceX-powered spring and the two gears on top of it. That damn thing launched so far AFTER it took out my readers that I stopped and looked for the parts the next day.
So, anyway I think that I will be able to repair the ring gear on my wife's if it has the same gear problem as the eBay mirror did. So that's progress. I don't like going into something without a contingency plan.
