It's a shame no other suppliers are readily found on the internet! Many of the parts shown for different reels and different reel models are a generic replacement part and don't fit. This has happened several times when buying from this suppler. Buyer beware! Look closely at the schematic and be sure the part looks like your old one that needs replacing, otherwise you will get something that won't work!!!

Basically you just have to take apart the reel until you get the old worm gear out and replace it with the new one. It can be helpful to take pictures while disassembling in case you get stuck putting it back together. The worm gear and pawl must be replaced together as they wear into each other. Replacing one or the other probably wouldn't fix anything or only temporarily. Remember to grease the new parts!
