3. Remove the upper linkage adjuster from the mode valve assembly by pinching the adjuster closed and pulling straight out.
4. Remove the lower linkage retainer from the mode valve assembly by pinching the back of the retainer and pulling straight out.
5. Remove the linkage spring by grasping the rear of the spring with pliers and pulling back and up out of the rear spring retainer.
6. Unhook the spring from the front spring retainer.
