- Position the new motor to regulator backplate, and with the aid of a helper, install new rivets by collapsing or crushing the end of the rivet with a ball peen hammer. See Fig 1 .
- Once motor is secured to the backplate with two rivets, remove bolt securing the sector to the backplate and using an electric power source, rotate regulator in the desired direction to provide access to the remaining rivet.
- Once the remaining rivet can be removed, install new rivet.
