Replacing power window regulator on '99 Camry

I'm trying to replace the power window regulator for the left rearwindow on a '99 Camry. I could hear a motor whirring when pressingthe power buttons, and the motor sank in position over time (wepropped it up with some rubber).I took the door apart, and it looks like a 6-toothed gear has fallenoff the window regulator (which keeps the scissor assembly together).I tried banging on the gear with a hammer, but it keeps coming off.Planning to use some JB Weld on it before buying a replacement.Any suggestions?Thanks,Michael

Uhoh! Thanks for the warning, I think!

If it serves as any repair-guy inquiry repellent, I thought I could fix my mystery oil leak by changing the differential oil, since it hadn't been done since... uh... 2004? Not only was the leak *not* the diff, I made quite a mess on the driveway while changing it... and it took twice as long as I thought it would. Oh well, that's life I guess.
