The motor and gears appear to be enclosed in solid plastic. How do I disassemble it to clean/grease the gears that are sticking? Does anyone have an exploded diagram that might show me the secret?

Well, I figured it out. There are plastic tabs that lock the motor in to the chasis. Was able to removed it and clean the gears and relube them. Works perfectly now. Just in the nick of time as one of my grandsons is sleeping over tomorrow night and loves running the inspection car.
