hello everybody, i know that this subject has been beat to death but this is killing me. i took the passenger side headlight apart, following the instructions of corvette fever and z juan and anything else i could do. i swear i followed everything step by step and got amnesia putting it back together. the bushings were like new also and there was grease on the inside. the original problem was the headlights only opening half way but now when i turn on the lights they come on but the headlight won't move at all. it is even a bear to turn the manual headlight adjustment to get it to open up, i gave up trying because it went nowhere. i am wondering if i put this thing back together wrong. i looked for a step by step instructions for EACH phase including the positioning of the stop bracket and how everything should look and can't find anything that shows me how to do this STEP by STEP. most of the do it yourself columns have the emphasis on the delrin bushings and how to put that mess back together but nothing after that (they just say to try to remember how to put it back the exact same way). right now the headlight comes on but is on solid as a rock with no play at all and turning the manual knob is really hard. i did loosen the bottom screw and then retightened it back, maybe this won;t allow the worm gear to turn?? help this novice mechanic out please! i don't want a ticket for one headlight and i am currently using my fog lights when i can get away with it. THANKS to anyone who helps me out on this one. my vette is a 93 coupe and the drivers side works perfectly. also when i reconnect the negative battery cable the manual knob top spins like crazy every time. it does this for about 10 seconds!!;help
