Where exactly am I supposed to connect these pins on the engine? I am going to replace the plastic bushings but I can't find where to place the pins other than where they both connect on the rotating mechanism.

Good afternoon,

Can you post a picture of what you see on the actuators?

No worries.

The rods just push through the bushings on the runner itself.

Are the rods missing from the actuator to the runner?

Yes, the rods were missing but I got replacements which are the ones in the picture. Now I know the rods go connected in the holes on the second photo but after that I can't where the end of both rods are supposed to be connected.
