re: "To chicken to tear it apart."

Don't be.  I was afraid to tear into mine, but with encouragement from a 
couple of pros I gave it a whirl and, so far so good. There are lots of 
good videos on how to disassemble and assemble these, including here:

When all was said and done, I felt more comfortable rebuilding the OD 
than the gearbox, but got both done successfully.  Since yours is now a 
spare, you can take your time.
