So let's open it up. Unscrew all screws

Be careful to lift up the housing carefully as they're 3 springs pushing up on it. They won't shoot out but you don't want them falling off as you take the top housing off

At this point just check for cracked gears. As you can see, I have several

So I removed the gear from the metal rod with my hands; Since they're cracked, it's easier to do so. Now what you want to replace them are 10T 2A plastic gears. Here's an Amazon link:

Using whatever tools you have you need to get that rod into the new gear. Personally used a hammer and tapped lightly to get the rod further and further into the gear until flush. Then I used the plastic housing hole to get the rod a little bit further through. (Not the best idea I know)

I used pliers and held the rod against the gear and tapped my hammer on top of the plier

I used the same hole from the top housing to hammer through the rod. 
Then use some good ol' lube of your choice on the white plastic gears, put it back together and bam:
