I just use the trial and error method, and swap the pipes over if it's the wrong way around. Still works, but the button action is reversed.

I can tell you that the rear one is blue pipe to black actuator cover, the other one (white?) is on the blue body.
i.e. blue NOT to blue.
Front would be similar I'd guess and you'll know if the front is locked all right!
Hope this helps.

C'mon Andrew where's the diagram for the front one? I'd already told him how to do the rear
