You have to have the push nut on all the way. You may have to grab the flapper valve shaft with a pair of pliers as often they have front to back slop.
So pull it towards you then push the nut home.
If you do not get the nut on correctly you will not be able to put the levers C clip back into it's groove.

Also I always lightly coat the seal with grease

OK, then as the last step, how do I get the eclip reattached to the end of the shaft after I have reattached the solenoid?

In seating the push nut, I seem to have somewho compromised it, it's now spinning freely and moving slightly forward and back. I guess I will have to replace the push nut if it leaks.

Place the C clip in the groove in the shaft.
Some units have a small post on the plastic lever assembly so the open part of the C clip must face this post.
Then with a small screw driver push the clip into the groove.

So, the clip is attached, and even though the push nut rotates freely, there are no leaks. The solenoid is a bit noisy, as the pin that pulls down the plunger is not tight in the lever that rotates the shaft. I imagine that will all "settle in".

Now the only problem is I have dishes that aren't getting perfectly clean. The glasses end up with specks, I am thinking I may have to clean the screen from the water source, which I have been led to believe is at the end of the copper pipe as soon as I open up the kickplate.

Thanks again for all of your help.
