The metal plate can be easily removed by destaking it. There are three 
or four places around the outside of the disk where the zink housing has 
been staked. Take a dremmel tool and grind out material to allow the 
disk to be removed without interference. Behind the disk is a hardened 
steel disk that acts as a thrust/wear plate for one of the gears. 
Because the gears are a bevel/constant mesh type they develop axial 
thrust and this inner disk keeps wear to a minimum. Once inside you will 
quickly see what you have to deal with. I found my gears were in fine 
shape but the flex drive input shaft had failed at the internal swedge 
area. Good Luck.
