Flip the plastic gear 180 degrees. In fact, no need to separate the electric motor from the housing.

Once done, change the oil, you can buy the Ravenol brand at FCPEuro for $20 (instead of $45 for BMW brand oil).

Also can you clarify what you mean by flipping the plastic gear 180 degrees?

?? - I can't find Ravenol TF-0870 on FCPEuro's site. Amazon has Ravenol for $36. I recently used Rock Oil's TF-0870 from Amazon (sold by Atlantic British) for $27, but I'd love to buy Ravenol for $20. Was it perhaps on a different site for that price?

AM.
