Kelly,
I don't think I can replace the outer portion of the gear (I believe it's call the housing, sun, planet and housing?).  It seems to be pressed into the PSRU housing fairly solid.

The sun gear has been turned down to be a perfect fit for the rest of the bearing surfaces.

If I swapped out just the planet gears on an 8 year old gear set, is there any chance that the teeth will mate properly?  I know Tracey had some problems with that on some gears he recieved, and they were presumably made at the same time.

I think I should order a set and see how closely it matches.
