It is widely believed that you need to set your sector gear with the tappet plate post at the one o’clock position when reassembling your mechbox.

Although doing it this way doesn’t hurt, it does not have to be strictly “one o’clocked”. As long as the sector gear is in a position where all the teeth are facing downward (a position anywhere between 12:30 and 3:00, such that no tooth is in touch with the piston at the time of installation), it will do fine. Still, by having the gear “one o’clocked”, you can enjoy a slightly faster initial response time (and peace of mind too).
