1. Raise seat all the way up before starting. 2. Remove the three phillips head screws 3. Slide metal plate off 4. Pull the motor assembly toward the front of the vehicle exposing the old damaged gear. 5. Hold the old gear with a pair of vise grips and remove the nut on the end of the shaft and then the old damaged gear. 6. Slide the new gear into place (you will have to install the original collar to retain the automatic preset seat feature. The original collar is magnetic and the replacement collar is not.). If installing the new non-magnetic collar you will need to disable the automatic seat feature. If your old collar is damaged we have clients that have had success by using epoxy to secure the broken pieces to the new gear. The entry/exit function can be activated or cancelled 7. Secure the nut on the end of the shaft 8. Slide the motor assembly onto the gear. May need to push or tap the housing to seat the assembly completely. 9. Replace the metal plate and secure the three phillips head screws.
Air Bag Light Reset You do not need to disconnect the air bag to perform this repair but if for some reason you do, this is the procedure on how to reset the air bag light without having to go to the dealer. (Tested and does work!) 1. Turn the key from off to on.
