there is a square section rubber seal ,doesnt hurt to smear edge of seal with silicone when you fit cap, if you look around the edge youll find a hole you use a punch through the hole to lift the large snap ring up so you can prise it out, then put box in full rh lock, if you then tap arm with a mallet in the same direction it should knock the cap out enough so as you can remove it ,put box back to neutral position before you go any further, large snap ring can be hammered back in if you start one end then work around
