Rotate the gearbox in an anti-clockwork direction only.

Each bolt hole represents a 45 degree rotation.

Once in the desired position, replace all 8 bolts and tighten to a torque spec of 8-10nm torque.

Use a small amount of thread locker on each bolt to ensure they won’t come lose through vibration.
