It is easy and you can do this before Mac's book arrives. Here is a picture on Mac's website. The picture at the top shows the spring and pin that must be depressed to move the bar/key that is also shown. There is a single hole between two gear teeth that must be used to push the spring loaded pin down. This second gear must be aligned by rotating it properly to be over this pin. You can use a 3/32" drift pin punch (recommend in Mac's book) to go through the hole and depress the spring loaded pin. I don't feel a paper clip is sturdy enough to do this but may be okay to push key back from front to back of gear.

I may also add some pictures here later. Good luck and you can do this!!

These pictures show the hole between the teeth on second gear. The key, plunger/pin, and spring. The hole in the output shaft for the spring and pin. The hole in the bearing/bushing that fits into center of second gear. All of the holes must be aligned to depress spring loaded pin and push key from front to back of gear.
