I have stripped my power tilt down to rebuild / clean out the creamy sludge, silly me didnt bother to take note of where things went, my questions are, down in the resevoir section which i have removed of the motor, undid the 4 bottom screws, lot sof sludge, un did the 4 bolts holding the plate with the 2 springs, out fall bearing/s and a detent with a point, there are 2 springs one long one short, i dont know what goes where, was there one lil bearing or 2, anyone done this before, I cant find a decent picture showing detail, Im very stuck lol

Ok my tilt unit appears to be a 72 model, on the resevoir housing its stamped HYB7001, year is 10/72, my powerhead is a 77 model so its a mixture of bits, it only has one hydraulic ram so its just a tilt set up, something else thats missing is the latch release its been removed and the hole for the hose for this in the pump has been blocked off, will it still work ok?

Once i found the year of the pump it was surrisingly easy to find a diagram but it still doesnt show which spring goes where,
