I’m going to try it out this weekend.

This! As you put the case on, the arm will spin and grab the pin as you seat the case. To get the cable in, put all cable adjustsments in and disconnect the cable from the clutch lever on the bars. You can use channel lock pliers to grab the arm and pull the clutch in to install the cable. Its easier to install the cable into the case first and then get it into the lever on the bars as use move the case arm.
