My name is not Leo but all the same, the first one I did took me 4-5 hours. The second and third, much less.....most likely about 1.5-2 hours now that I have done it several times. Make certain the new gear is not rammed down tight against the worm. If there is not just a bit of play with the new gear it is likely to lock up and not work. A washer can be inserted under the foot of the motor to provide the clearance on the gear and drive worm. The reason this may be necessary is some of the new gears are a bit larger in diameter than the old gears....just enough to lock up the odometer causing you to get more practice and removing and installing pods. Don't ask me how I know this....
