Howdy

I recently acquired an old R5k O2, and it suffers from the famous thrown gear problem in the CD drive unit. I've pulled apart the machine and I have the CD drive and the little white gear, but I can't figure out where it actually goes in the mechanism. I've searched the forums but the posts I came across didn't tell me where it should be. Can someone please help me? I'll take a couple of photos if that helps.
Ok I got it working again.

Here are some pictures for the wiki.
