450 Pro tail rotor drive gear replacement
Dinged the tail and stripped the torque tube front drive gear. I have it disassembled, but how do you remove the gear from the drive assembly to replace it? I have the replacement gear in hand, but the manual says that assembly is factory assembled. What's the trick to removing it? Thanks.

If it is the one that directly connects to the torque tube, remove 4 screws and pull the whole assy out. Once you do that, the 2 halves can be separated and change the gear(s).

Thanks...I figured that out after I got it out and looked close. Since the manual says it's factory assembled, I didn't realize that it split in half. Got it fixed and back in action.
