Thanks all. Yes, you are rotating the gear 180. Without the line, you won't know if you did so. The people that have done this, some say this fails on them right away. I have a feeling it is because they did not flip 180. You need to mark the white gear before you take the motor out.

If you take the motor out, the gear will rotate. You won't be spinning it 180 anymore. Get it. You need to mark the gear, white visible part on the outside.

It is very hard to see inside the motor shaft hole, and then judge the 180.

Just unbolt that thing, it will take you 3 min. You will see the white gear.
