There’s a tutorial to change it in the VRD.
I can second this. The gears from OdometerGears are top quality and I wouldn't use anything else. In fact, I just changed out the gears on the 240 with these. The odo was working intermittently, which I thought was odd. Turned out that the PO used some cheapo gears that rotated very hard with a lot of friction. Now all is good.
