Default headlight prob

Has anyone ever replaced the motor linkage shaft bushings. Not the gear bushings. Do you have to take apart the whole thing or can you slip them over the shaft. I've been trying for an hour and I can't get it. Don't want to wreck them.

You have to take the whole headlight assembly apart, well not totally, but you have to take the motor off and then the main headlight part to get to them.

Was afraid of that. Even for the end one? Is it that you have to put the bushings in the frame first, then slide the shaft through them?

Use a permanent marker to mark the tooth on the gear. It'll make it a lot easier to properly seat the shaft after you remove it.
