Hi Guys.
If I remember...I used a small Phillips to loosen the screw holding a white
plastic 'finger' that hits the pin and returns the lever to the center as
the steering wheel rotates. Once you open it up, you will see exactly what
needs to be done. Even if the plastic is broken, a simple fab job will be
done in 15-20 mins (hours).
I think that was the first job I did on my TR6. Bugged the %^&* out of me!
