side and is positioned behind the motor/encoder baseplate/gasket. The rotary position sensor replacement kit consists of a rotary position sensor,
baseplate/gasket, and detailed instruction sheet.
Position the motor on a work bench.

does not have a locking tab and is easily disturbed.
Gently lift the motor/encoder rotary position sensor (2) from the motor shaft.
10. Disconnect the rotary position sensor (2) from the wiring harness.
Important: Look at the motor/encoder housing (1) where the rotary position sensor was removed from. Take note of the "Hex" in the housing
