The Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 does not have an installation video at this time. However, the installation is not difficult. Before removing the motor, you want to open the awning about 12 inches and support the arms. This will remove the spring tension in the awning roller for an easy removal.

You disassemble the protective housing, remove the bolts that hold the motor in place and then disconnect the 2 wires. To install the new motor, you simply reverse the steps. Plug in the corresponding wires, make sure the gears fit properly, and replace the bolts. Reassemble the protective housing and test the unit. You should be good to go.

If you refer to step 12 of the installation instructions on the conversion kit you insert the cotter pin into the end cap to lock the spring head in place. In step 16 you remove the cotter pin once you're done. I'm not quite sure what bushing you are referring to though.
