How does the Volvo 850 factory towbar attach?

Hi - just joined.

I have just spent the last hour trying to attach the factory fitted tow hook to my 96 Volvo 850 estate. Can't find any instructions anywhere in the handbook.

It looks as though you rotate through 90 degrees some how and there is an internal pin that locates. It doesn't seem to work, however. Any tips? Is it seized? Is this common?

After stripping it down, it turns out the previous owner put the spring loaded handed on 90 degrees out. Hence, it didn't actually move the locating pin enough.
