Remove the 3 screws holding the CAS sensor onto the assembly as shown in figure 
18 as well as the rubber seal shown in figure 19. Make sure that you do not remove 
the screws in figure 20 because this may render the CAS sensor useless.

Mount the assembly in a vise placing the two ears that stick out of the cover shown in 
figure 21 on the jaws being mindful of the plastic connector to the CAS sensor as 
shown in figure 22.

Remove the shaft from the remaining half of the housing using a 3/8” pin punch as 
shown in figure 23. Figure 24 shows the sensor separated from the housing.

This step requires a lot of finesse or help from a friend to hold the shaft from falling 
off the vise. Mark the star socket relative to the shaft and remove the pin holding the 
star socket onto the shaft using a 1/8” pin punch as shown in figure 25.

Remove the star socket with a ¼” flat screwdriver as shown in figure 26. Figure 27 
shows the star socket removed with the small rubber seal that is inside it.

This is another step that requires a little finesse or a friend. Remove the remaining 
bearing using a pair of pliers with flat jaws to have a firm grip on the shaft but be 
narrow enough to fit in between the collar on the shaft and the bearing. Hit the pliers 
with a mallet. Note how the shaft is placed into the vise in figure 28. Figure 29 shows 
the bearing removed from the shaft.

Using the number 2 Phillips screwdriver remove the screws holding the CAS disc 
onto the shaft as shown in figure 30.

Figure 31 shows the shaft removed once the screws are removed. Mark the disc so 
that you can identify how it was mounted for future reference. Carefully remove the 
CAS disc from the sensor by rotating the disc in the direction of the large arrow 
relative to the locating pin so that it will pull directly up over the pin in the direction of 
the small arrow.

The original and AEM trigger discs must be aligned in the correct orientation since the 
locating pin is slightly offset as shown in figure 32.

Reinstall the shaft onto the CAS sensor as shown in figure 34 and replace the screws on 
the shaft with some thread locker as shown in figure 35.

Reinstall bearing as shown in figure 36. Next add some grease or spray lube onto the o-
ring that came off of the star socket that goes over the bearing and lightly hammer the star 
socket on a flat surface so that you are only hammering the shaft until the hole for the pin 
that holds the star socket lines up as shown in figure 37. A pin punch can be used to align 
the hole for the pin if it is slightly off.
