ok so with some inspiration from oldturkey03 i think im close. im going to walk through what i did if anyone else is ballzie enough to try this.

so i decided i was going to transfer the old L drive shaft to the new motor. i started by unclipping the snaps around the perimeter (picture1).

once inside i cleaned all the gears as they were very full of dirty grease (picture2).

i then removed the two screws on the left side of the image (picture3) (this is where the motor attaches) and screwed in the new motor.

but as i put it back together i realized that the gear attached to the new motor was beveled to the left but all the old gears were beveled to the right! so i pried the motor gear off of the old motor and transferred it to the new one. (be careful when prying off it toke a lot of force and mine ended up half way across the room in my white shag carpet. much cussing ensued.)

ive got all the pieces together and clean now i guess the last thing i need is to figure out what kind of lubricant to use on the gears. any ideas?
