2. Place a new C-clip into the retention groove (
2
) on the leader pin
attachment tool and make sure that the clip's open side faces up.
3.
Place the leader pin that was removed earlier into the cavity (
3
) of the
leader pin attach tool.
Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the
following step use care when folding the tape over the pin.
4. Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your fingers.
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure
to properly center the tape on the pin will cause the repaired cartridge
to fail. When the tape is properly centered, a 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) gap
exists on both sides of the pin.
5.
Close the pivot arm (
4
) of the leader pin attach tool by swinging it over the
leader pin so that the C-clip snaps onto the pin and the tape.
6. Swing the pivot arm open and trim the excess tape (
5
) so that it is flush
with the reattached leader pin (
6
).
7. Use your fingers to remove the leader pin from the cavity (
3
) in the leader
pin attach tool.
8. Use the cartridge manual rewind tool to wind the tape back into the cartridge
(wind the tape clockwise). Ensure that the leader pin is latched by the
pin-retaining spring clips on each end of the leader pin.
9. Remove the rewind tool.
10.
Remove the leader pin attach tool by lifting its end up and away from the
cartridge.
