Question:
Here are pictures of the back of the gear case. Looks like the gear case is made of a hard plastic- it looks like to me one of the plastic knobs which holds the gear case in place has broken off causing the case to move freely. If this is the case - do they sell just the case since the gears are working fine. Please advise- thanks .

Expert Reply:
One of your motors is connected backwards and you'll need to simply swap the wires at the switch assembly # LC145236. Make sure to level your landing gear before you completely finish the assembly because the motors will work in sync with each other when you switch the wires around and you want your landing gear to move at the same rate. To level your trailer, simply unplug one motor and use the other to move up or down to match, then connect the wiring in the correct order to make both legs move up and down together.
