1.  Remove the stop arm. This step usually entails driving the valve out in order to release the stop arm. If you're not comfortable with this step it's time to visit your repairman.
2.  Install the new stop arm. If necessary, tap it down tight with your rawhide mallet. Replace and tighten the stop arm retaining screw. (After endplay, loose screws are the most common cause of clicking in rotary valves
3.  Install the new link using the screw and washer from step one. The new link should be on the side of the rotor closest to the main tuning slide. You may have to bend the original arm slightly to line things up.
4.  String as you would any other valve. Remember to pass the string under the 1st loop. Pull the string as tight as possible.
  5.  That's it. You're done!
