The easiest way I ve found to lift a potentiometer back through the hole is to remove an eraser from a wooden pencil and insert the pencil through the hole where the pot is to be replaced. Carefully push the end of the pencil with eraser removed over the knurled pot shaft and carefully lift it through the mounting hole. Insert the washer and nut on the opposite end of the pencil and carefully slide them down over the shaft.
