Be careful not to lose the spring & washer ! ( It’s also missing a step showing where the brass washer goes )https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/microsoft…

So far the isn’t a mention replacement of the plastic “post” that the tilt motor and the upper sensor unit are joined at. Mine broke (that’s what happens when you get a “free Xbox 360” at a neighborhood moving sale.) I couldn’t get the base plate apart as my T5 torx bit is trashed. So, my solution?…epoxy the heck out of the post as it’s only purpose is to hold the two units of the Kinect together. So far it worked!
