See my Cave,
Gen 2 HL MotorMotors do not need to be setup in a way to make them work.
Link from motor to HL must be able to extent/retract fully.
If not sure...
Easy to stretch the link out straight or close to that then attach to the motor.
Do Not use oil or grease on HL pivot points. Many have plastic "bushings" that will hate most oil/grease and strong solvents like carb/brake cleaners.
If taken apart, clean all then spray metal parts w/ Dry Teflon and let them dry before reassemble.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
