1. An apparatus for replacing at least one tooth of a gear, the apparatus comprising:
a curved elongate anchoring lip having a lip body defined between first and second side edges of the lip, the lip body extending substantially along, and defining, a lateral direction between the first and second side edges, the lip body having at least one anchoring hole extending therethrough to define a longitudinal direction which is substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction, the lip body including curved front and rear lip faces separated by the lip body to define a transverse direction which is substantially perpendicular to both the lateral and longitudinal directions; and
a tooth block extending in the longitudinal direction from a selected one of the front and rear lip faces, the tooth block including at least one replacement gear tooth extending longitudinally therealong;
wherein the tooth block is spaced apart, in the lateral direction, from at least a chosen one of the first and second side edges, with at least a portion of the lip body extending laterally between the tooth block and the chosen one of the first and second side edges.
