if it's a stepper, well, it's not hard but it's a long way in there.
plan on ca. 8 hours of labor if you do the full up pull the dash out, swap 
stepper motors and reassemble.

1) use the alfa pro gear kit

2) assume that the drum is busted too, and fix that with the alfapro parts.

when i got into mine, the steppers were fine but the shaft on the end of
the drum was split, just like in the pictures. i replaced the gears in the
steppers anyway, on general principles, and the system has been generally
well behaved since.

alfapro is at http://www.alfapro.com/
