You can simply unplug and remove your CAS, line up the dimple on the CAS gear with the notch on the CAS shaft


Remove the top lid of the CAS (two philips head screws). Make two reference marks that line up inside of the CAS so that you can keep the gear dimple and shaft notch lined up below.


Now, line up the yellow mark on the main pulley with the needle that sticks out of the front cover. (Yellow mark... Not the red mark as shown in the picture.)


"Stab" or reinstall the CAS making sure that your reference marks stay lined up. Keeping the reference marks lined up is important... It ensures that the gear dimple and shaft notch stay aligned during reinstallation.
