Removed the guard, then removed the 4 phillips screws from the housing. I Put a little grease on the gears. I Seated the o-ring inside the housing (seat is Inside where the pin goes through the housing) Then I put the pin in the hole (grooved end out) with a small amount of grease on the pin to hold it in place while you replace the housing. Once you screw the housing down, then rotate the shaft to be sure the pin is not in the locked position so that it is protruding from the hole as far as it can. Place the spring over the pin, and place the cap on, aligning the hole over the pin, then take the adjustable pliers and clamp down until the cap pops onto the pin. Reattach the guard.
