That happened to mine. I played with it forever and found the trick. First snap the new plastic piece into the lock, then insert the rod, and finally click the elbow part of the plastic piece onto the rod. Hopefully that will make sense to you. It is a really tight space, and seems impossible to work in there, but this is actually very simple.

Another thing like that was the time I broke my accelerator pedal.....

That's the way it works!

I used a long needle nose and a magnetic wand to do it. Its annoying but do-able.

Been there, done that. I think I lost about a pound of hide from my right hand but finally got it on. The only thing I can suggest is take your time and when your ready to pick up the sledgehammer or sawzall, it's time for a break. Good luck. :D
