you probably sorted it by now, but if not,



remove the 4 screws at the back of the top plate and the 2 in the middle and the 6 screws holding the rear top gearbox housing on, then bend up the top plate ( if using the plastic original ) and if it needs prising apart pull on the gearbox housing to seperate it from the bottom housing and now you should be able to grab the slipper mechanism with the spur gear on it and lift it out of the car,

then undo the grub screw on the outdrive as detailed in picture attached, then undo nut and remove parts taking note of the order you take them off,

or just refer to picture if you lose order they go back on.

i cant remember off the top of my head but you may come across a pin ( marked pin ) in picture that you may have to take out to remove spur gear,

then replace spur gear, if pin was needed to take out then after replacing new spur gear replace the pin and then sliupper and all the other parts in order, finishing with the nut ( tighten nut all the way then undo approx 1/4 of a turn ) and dont forget to tighten the grub screw on the outdrive again,

place the slipper mechanism back into the gearbox housing placing the centre driveshaft in the outdrive while placing all this in, then do up the 6 gearbox housng screws and the 6 screws in the top plate and thats it, done
