Conservation of momentum is a law of physics that stems from the 
symmetry in the universe that all laws of physics are the same here as 
they are over there.

I should explain something here. The root cause of why things behave the 
way they do is this set of laws. You are looking for a physical 
mechanism that explains how things work, you should be aware that every 
physical mechanism that you can think of (gears, ropes, pulleys, 
bouncing balls) all do what they do because of underlying laws of physics.

Gears for example do what they do BECAUSE OF Newton's 2nd law for 
rotation and conservation of angular momentum. If those laws did not 
hold, gears would not work. ALL simple machines work on the basis of 
physical laws.

You focus on the moving parts. But you have not figured out that the 
moving parts work because of the physical laws. Learn the laws UNDER the 
moving parts, and you start to understand how things work.
