1 When the new part arrives it will be in the activated position.
2. Work the brake handle as you place the new part in its normal position.
3. When the handle connects with the brake handles proper slots pull it back to deactivate the spring .
When this happens you have to replace the screws in the cover. then continue with replacing the rest of the clutch parts as shown in the diagram which comes with the new brake assembly.
This procedure can be a real pain if it doesn't connect properly but don't let it get you down it usually is really simple just takes a little understanding of the parts.

Removed old assembly. Installed per directions. Once the drum is on, you do need to move the lever, to seat the new brake assembly. Good idea to watch e-replacement's video, before you install.
