Once hooked, gently pull the opposite end of the spring outward and loop it over the end of the plastic arm. Insert the spring down into the gimbal so the loop on the opposite end hooks onto the plastic lug located on the inside top-end of the gimbal. With pliers or hemostat, grab one end of the spring which was removed from the other gimbal. Take the arm just removed from the other gimbal, insert the pivot end onto the round pivot lug on the lower inside part of this gimbal and rotate the arm upward over the gimbal. Looking at the left-hand gimbal from the back, on the inner-right side, notice similar arm and spring mounting lugs as were on the other gimbal, except the spring lug is now on the top end and the pivot arm lug is on the bottom end. NOTE: Pivot the arm outward, then slide to the side to remove it from the gimbal.ĥ. Now remove the spring and arm from the gimbal (this may require slight maneuvering of the parts to get them out from behind the main body of the gimbal). Using pliers, gently pry the head of the spring upwards off of the plastic arm. This arm and spring assembly must now be moved to the left-hand gimbal. On the right-hand gimbal, notice there is an arm-and-spring type lever mounted vertically along the inner-left side of the gimbal, the spring attached at the upper end to a plastic mounting stud.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, as the plastic gimbal may become easily stripped.Ĥ. Line up the lever's hole over the plastic mounting stud on the gimbal, insert the screw and tighten to a snug fit (making sure the lever maintains proper alignment over the ribbed area of the gimbal). Rotate the metal rachet 180 degrees, so the screw hole is now on the bottom right side of the gimbal, and the rachet end is now pointing upward nearest the switch on the top right side, and resting on the ribbed surface of the gimbal. Physically relocate it to the gimbal on the right-hand side. Remove the silver metal rachet lever and screw from the gimbal on the left-hand side. Remove the four screws from the rear of the controller, remove the case rear half, and lay the controller face-down on your workspace.ģ.
