The whole idea was to just turn the gear 180 degrees then putting it all back together. I opted for the brass gear which still got eaten away and grinds like crazy. But yeah its just turn the gear 180 degrees then put it back together with some epoxy, then let it dry for a while to make sure its hardend real good.
