Once you defeat Knuckles and get the strongbox key, the box you're looking for to loot the actuator is right in the middle of the ring. It's fairly easy to miss.

I came to Bondo riding Invincible and he said something about me riding a dead pony. I wonder if there are different comments for different mounts...

What to do
Description
We're going to need a new Sixteen-Servo-Actuator if we're going to fix the controls on this thing. Bondo's gang at the yard probably has one, but they usually aren't too helpful. Talk to Bondo, see if you can get us one.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Right Bot for the Job
We don't waste anything around here. Every defeated bot gets a second chance! If I'm going to fix this mechaspider, I'm going to need a few extra wrenchbots working with me. Use my Bot Re-Energizer on three dead Repeating Wrenchbots and bring them to me, and I'll put them to work.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Knock 'Em Out The Box
Steelarm Pillagers have been taking all our parts and selling them to Bondo's gang. Last night they stole all our Spiderspring Gears. The parts are in a bunch of crates they're guarding. We need you to get our gears back, and show those Steelarm Pillagers they should pick on someone else.
