Step 2 - Mounting the tool on actuator arm
Unscrew and remove the screws that are holding flat cable contact and, using a
finger, push the connector from the bottom upwards to release it. The pressure from below
may cause this connector to pop out and possibly damage the platters. Because of this, hold
the top of the connector firmly with one hand, while pushing it from below with another.
Carefully center the tool over the axle hole of the hard disk head arm. Take care that
the notch on the bottom of the tool coincides with the commas in the actuator arm base.
Place a screw through the tool’s shaft and tighten it to connect the tool to the head arm.
Picture 2. (Mounting the tool)
While tightening this screw, hold the tool with your hand and make sure that its
shank with snouts remains in the area outside of the platters.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Be sure to tighten the mounting screw because this will ensure a good contact and proper
tool height.
