Jim, the actuator goes on in any position, it is self-indexing when the key is turned to ON. I usually install it so that the harness is facing forward so as to make insertion into the frame hole easier.

Upon disassembly, be sure to not lose the end of the car's wiring harness into the frame rail.

Be sure to support the lower end of the shock with a jack, and raise the upper mounting flange to the frame with the jack, rather than using the upper bolts to pull the shock into position.
