You must hold it in this possition as the brush spring tendion will be forcing it down and on an angle.

You will see clearly what I mean once you try to line it up. it's easier from the bottom because things are much more visible from below but you will get it in. Just take your time.

I'm trying to put the old part back in to see if the water helped the situation. I have to try and do it from up top from feel where I'm basically blind. I can get it in there. I'm just concerned I could be doing it wrong. I'm also concerned that I cant see the screw holes because the screws I took out seem like they can just fit in and out of the holes with little screwing needed.
