Toy Tonka fire truck #36 Boom repair?
I have a late 90’s Tonka Fire truck #36 with the motorized boom ladder that rotates and should lift and lower. The boom motor runs, but the boom does not lift/lower. These historically had problems with the inner gear wearing out from what I could find online.
Wondering if anyone has discovered a guide for dis-assembly and repair/ replacement of the gear components in the boom? I would love to get the boom fixed, but am cautious about damaging the working side rotation mechanism in the process.

Not hard to take the cover off the truck. Maybe 8-12 screws holding the body to the frame. The ladder lift/lower gearbox has plastic gears. You can purchase misc gears from Amazon. Taking the gearbox apart is a bit tricky but can be done. Take lots of pics and take your time. I have rebuilt over a dozen of these. Same issue typically. Also need to solder wires occasionally.
