[Antennas] Replacing a ring gear in a TailTwister Question

[bill]

I always work on rotators INSIDE one of my wife's discarded roasting pans.
Saves a lot of time with a magnet on the floor.

But I've never had to replace anything other than the direction device.
So I used a file to cut some marks on both edges of the case so I can 
always get it realigned properly.

Was hoping someone had an idea to make sure I had the ring gear properly 
replaced.
