I am working on one of my headlight assemblies. My mission is to install a new adjuster screw because the old one broke off at the cotter pin hole. Now there is a bracket that acts as a guide at the front of the pot where the head of the screw resides. Mine isn't attached but when the screw is in place, the force of the spring keeps it in position. I don't see any evidence of a spot weld but it would seem appropriate that it would be attached somehow. What do you think?

Wish I could help. I don't pics of that area and it's been to long since I had it apart. The synapses aren't firing.

I figured out the answer to my question. the bracket is not attached to the pot assembly but it is held in placed by the force of the compression spring inside.
I found out how to remove the pot from the housing without breaking the spring clips. The clips have a little ninety degree elbow at each end but out of sight there is another bend that forms a little claw. I inserted a small flat blade screwdriver under the clip on top and gently pushed along at the end. This released the end of the clip.
