Default newbie ~ 1985 headlight clicking

I find all kinds of info and help on this subject, but they all show a different kind of headlight motor than what I have.

The headlight keeps trying to open once it is all the way open....

the Part number is 16500364

I see that on the other style there are torque pins, but this style motor does not come apart, or does it?

Does this year have torque pins, just not accessable?

appreicate any help, and sorry, but not sure how to add to an existing thread, so I started the new one

84-87 vettes do not have bushings, usually it is the white gear that wears in the center from the worm gear on the armature..
Here's mine apart..
