I’ve been at this for ages days actually. No screws or anything I can see. Doesn’t pull apart no pins or anything the manual doesn’t say anything an it. Being a Kysho outlaw YouTube videos are scarce. I’m finally giving up and asking for help.
 
Set the housing over a socket, with the gear facing up. Get a punch, or a pin that fits into the center of the gear on the shaft. Give it a few light taps, being mindful that the pin is resting on a metal shim with a rubber o-ring behind it. You just want to jar whatever corrosion or goop is sticking the gear to the pin loose, not drive the pin hard enough to bend the shim.
 
If you can fabricate some miniature prybars to get under the gear you can just pry it up as well. It has just corroded onto that cross pin and the shaft. Use a sacrificial small drill bit and grind a small notch in the side near the end of the shank, then round the tip of the shank so it can rock, lifting the gear. Like this...

Just make sure the drill or whatever you make it out of will fit in this notch...
