completely.
u Whilst holding the head, back off the upper head mounting screw x by exactly 2

u Peel of the rubber gaiter and let it hang by the plug cable y.

to remove the nut and bolt.
u Remove the old pivot/tilt assembly and attach the new one (using the same
hardware and tool) to the same tension as previously noted.
u Remove handle from the new pivot/tilt assembly and carefully fit the rubber
