Thanks for posting. I'm afraid that once that worm gear comes out of your operator, it cannot be replaced or repaired. Your handle in particular is probably still in good condition and can be reused. However, you will need a new operator.

There are many possible replacement options depending on the size and style of your hardware, especially the link arm, which isn't visible in your photos. Take a look at our 39-280 and 39-419 to start out and see if either of these match up. If neither do, we'll need you to remove your operator from the window and give us more detailed photos.
