4. With the nut removed, pull the raise/lower arm off the motor shaft. You may need to use something like "Liquid Wrench" and let it soak for a few minutes because the raise/lower arm sometimes rusts to the shaft. Note: This will be easier if you have somebody to help you hold the headlight up because it will not stay up by itself once this arm is pulled off the shaft You'll notice that the shaft is not perfectly round. It has two flat spots. You need to look at how these flat spots on the shaft are situated... one of the flat areas should be approx. facing the front of the car and the other towards the rear.

This next part is important! You now need to, while CLOSELY watching the motor shaft, rotate the raise/lower manual **** so the motor shaft turns exactly 180 degrees (or half a revolution). Once you have completed this, reattach the headlight raise lower arm. What you have just done is made it so the actual motor gear will now be in contact with the *other* half of the plastic gear. Sure, the teeth on the plastic gear are stripped, but they are stripped on the now unused side of the gear
