I bought a plagerized hard copy of the shop manual on Flea-Bay some time ago for, I think, 38 bucks. Looks exactly like the one at the dealer but cheaper. Has a better cover and binding (Clear acetate) so it don't get munged up.

The pre-load isn't in the shop manual at all. It's just a little trick learned from previous coronaries. :lol:

Like I said in my note to you, the trick is foresight. Take a prick punch and mark the shaft as well as the crank before taking it off. That way, it goes back on the same way. No guessing.

By pre load you mean twist the shaft a bit before installing the actuator arm?

I had to do that to get any feel
