	[* black] By gently pulling apart the front and back halves of the lens module assembly, we expose a black gear and white gear connecting the larger brass gear to the motor
	[* black] Using tweezers it's possible to remove the black gear without fully opening the lens module halves - just open wide enough like shown here to gain access.
	[* icon_caution] Note: the flex circuits around the lens module are soldered and cannot be removed. Therefore you need to gently carefully move them aside when pulling apart the lens module.
-	[* icon_~~note~~] On the right side of the photo, there's a small plastic piece with flex circuit attached. This piece is held by one of the screws and the front/back halves of the lens module. When reassembling it's a bit fiddly to get back in the right place if you're not paying attention.
