Those Electric Cockpit Tables Again

They are cylindrical without flats.  This image is from the Scandvik/Barka procedure.  I'll PM you the full thing.  The hardest part, I found, was managing the very short wire leads from the cockpit floor.  I didn't have much slack at all to solder them to the motor leads.  The other little tip is thinking through the clearance you'll need for your tools for disassembly & re-assembly, but that just saves you time.  It wasn't difficult.

In my opinion, they should replace the whole unit, which would require re-termination of the electrical connections rather than trying to save the housing (if that's what they're trying to do). The motor itself is constrained/held in place by the 4 small bolts in the pedestal base, accessed from the underside of the pedestal base.  The pedestal base is held firm to the cockpit floor by the 4 larger countersink bolts.  The unconstrained end is what causes the table to move up or down when meshed with the gears.  The alignment of the motor to the table ... yes, that is determined by where you orient the motor into the gears.  Your tech might just need to make an attempt at checking alignment before assembling.
