OK, no need to remove anything from the top except the damaged gear. With the upper and front covers removed, turn the hand wheel until you see the screw holding the damaged black gear. Insert a flat screwdriver in the "first lever window" so you can reach the screw. Loosen the screw and remind that you will not be able to pull the gear up but instead pull the shaft down a few inches so the gear remains alone on top. Remove it and replace it with the new one.

Let me know any other difficulties with this or the next steps. Make sure you have a hot cocoa cup or any other delightful treat available in case you start feeling discouraged.
Enjoy a great day!
