Bobcat E80 Right Hand Catch Repair

this is my first instructable.
had problems opening the hood to check fluids and charging the battery.

so when i FINALLY got it open i removed the Catch PN 7012749 or 7005859,

then after i inspected the mechanism i discovered the lever to pin gap was too great to allow full movement of the pin.

remove E-clip A

remove tension from spring E by moving leg F

slide Hex pin to the Left. spacer B will fall off. then the Lever C will fall off. STOP

do not completely remove Hex pin.

right side is the old

Left side is what is used now

place lever in opening.

slide Hex pin through lever C. if Pin will not slide then loosen 4 screws G

slide Hex pin through spacer B

complete sliding Hex pin till it stops.

add E-clip A

re-tighten 4 screws G

place Phillips screwdriver in latching area

press down

latch should close around screwdriver shaft.

slide screwdriver out of latch

open handle to "Open"

re-install in Bobcat E80 in Open position.
