I just looked again at your picture and compared it to one of my switches. Indeed, the pinion is rotated 180 degrees out of position relative to the rack.

I think the rack and pinion gears rotated 180 sounds more likely. And I think it seems a much easier problem to solve, then disassembling the switch. I'll give one a try and let you know how it goes. Thank you everyone for your help.
