Instructions
Start by flipping you GV power head over. There are 10 screws that you need to remove. Set them aside in a safe place!
Once the screws are removed, flip the power head back over and remove the top cover.
There is a plug that connects to the headlight that you can unplug to give yourself more room, but it’s not necessary. In this video we leave it plugged in.
There is a screw on each side of the pivot assembly that need to be removed and set aside.
Once those are removed you can lift up the pivot assembly and then slide the pivot out.
Grab your new pivot and reverse the process! Slide it into the pivot assembly.
Replace the screws. If you unplugged the headlight make sure to plug it back in.
Put the top cover back on.
Flip it over and replace the 10 screws. You’re done!
