First, remove the 3, 6 mm bolts that hold the coolant/ washer fluid container in place. If the unit is equipped with AC, disconnect the wire connector for the washer pump from the container, and move the container out of the way. Remove the jack in it's pouch. Remove the standard governor. Then study the pics below.

More to come, I hope!
