Replacing motor in the 440i Timer Assembly

I bought an electric motor for my autotrol 440i. I can not figure out how to remove the motor. There is no screw in this one only a clip at the top and bottom. I can not turn it to remove it. Help!
 
* You must take the case a part from the front ( remove tripper arm gear and skipper wheel ), carefully unsnapping the gray cover from the black back plate. Press the black output "button" in as you pull cover up from the bottom.
THEN you can remove the two gears above the motor from the INSIDE, and you will be able to turn the motor from the back and remove ( once you've taken the gears out that prevent the motor from being turned from the rear ). Re-assembly is the reverse.
It's a bit of a "pain", but it can be done. Just take your time with it.
