I rebuilt mine when I put the 617 into my 240D. I found it quit easy using only a couple new internal parts. The problem I found before I drove the car was that the plastic body that contains this line up of parts had been pretty badly damaged from underneath the car. It probably still shifted. But I used this diagram of the parts to reassemble it and it went well and easy. Then I made the 6mm key to properly adjust the rods by cutting the head off a long 6mm bolt, then cut the threaded part from the un-threaded part, then welded them together at 90 degrees. I also did grind just a little point to the un-threaded end to get it to slide in a little easier.
