The fasteners
for the
bearings sockets are
installed through
outside of the body
opening, as shown.
The housings will
have to be rotated
to provide access
to each bolt. This is
where an assistant
comes in handy. He
or she can hold the
housing in place,
while the installer
lightly snugs the
fasteners.

Once loosely
installed,
the housings will
not be flush or
centered within
the openings. This
is where patience
and a good eye are
required to finesse
the installation.

Here’s how
the inboard
side of the rotating
mechanism looks
from the underside.
Note the position
of the bearing
socket bracket and
the position of the
headlamp position
activation switch.

There are
no specific
vertical (flush) and
lateral (centering)
adjustment settings.
The fasteners are
loosened and
tightened, one at a
time, as the housing
is gently adjusted
until it is properly
positioned. It might
take two minutes,
or it could take 30
minutes or more.
