spreading pliers, remove the "C" clip and the washers from the shaft.
4. Insert the "insert end" of the shaft into the "gear end" of the actuator.
5. Push the shaft until the "insert end" reaches just short of the brass bushing at the
other end of the actuator.
6. Put one of the washers on the insert end of the shaft. See Figure 5.
7. Line up the "shaft key" with the key slot on the "gear end" of the actuator and slide
the shaft until the "insert end" is completely through the brass bushing.
