I just did mine and am still learning how they work. Before I took mine apart, I scribed everything for positioning. I scribed the gear in the motor for replacement. Im no expert, but maybe outside gearing 180 off. Or maybe inside gear off. Im sure someone here will be able to help you with more info. Good luck.

Mine is 89 vert. May be a different setup than you have
