Need step by step help on shifter gear lock box repair

All:
I need some knowledgable and experienced help on the step by step procedure for installing a new gear set in the gear shift lock box on my 1992 900S CV (Manual transmission).
I just received the new gear set from e-Europarts. The gears are smaller than I had envisioned.
Should I take the gear shift knob and lever out completely? Seems like it will bend the internals to the breaking point when I turn the gear box on its side to open the bottom cover...the Bentley manual doesn't seem to say to do this...
Do I need to be careful so I don't end up with a nightmare for realigning everything?
Also, it appears to be just the piece under the ignition cylinder that is broken (the pieces sticking up to mate with the cylinder broke off). Can I replace just this piece, or is this one of those jobs where you figure, while I'm in there, I should replace everything in the gear kit?
Also, there's a small spring wire in the kit- where is that used? (Maybe that will be obvious when I get the box opened).
Thanks for help,
Todd inMA
