first of all if you have the cover off and hit the starter it will never catch the gear. the case has to be on for it to catch the gear.

how can i test if its turning the gear if the case isnt on because as far as i know it isnt turning it. how can i fix the not turning the drive gear issue?

Pull out the starter gear assembly (not the starter) and make sure that the gear to the starter ring is moving in/out.

If you used WD40, make sure to get our the excess, you don't want that flung onto the belt. Use a compressor. Mine had the same problem.
