I had a few other issues in a separate thread but figured this could it's own thread since I haven't been able to find out how to do this after a while of searching...

The ball rolls off of the ring instead of getting locked in. I found this on

Iobium.com: "If it rolls past the hole or under the metal guide, then the dead world may need to be raised."

But I'm not sure how to raise the deadworld...? Can't find how to do it in the manual, on pinside, or google.

Anyone know?

Fixed this issue with bigger washers, but then the crane was slightly too low... so I started to adjust the planet and the crane and the planet gearbox broke (hopefully you can see in the video, most of the bottom part of the gearbox turns but the top doesn't...) It was sticking a while but something finally slipped/broke apparently. https://vimeo.com/56833719

I know this is a fairly common issue and that it will cost about $200 to send it in and have it repaired (Or I can do it myself like so: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/judge-dredd-planet-gearbox-revealed-2) but I don't even know how to take the damn thing out/apart, let alone a fix like that. Argh. Going to take a deep breath, have a beer, and let it sit in the corner a while.

Can anyone explain how to take the gearbox out? I'm likely going to have Rich Huff from Midwest pinball restoration work on it for me, and I think it will be cheaper if I can bring it to him rather than a house call but I'm not sure how to remove the damn thing...
