The following procedure describes how to reattach a leader pin.
To reattach a leader pin by using the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit:
1. Attach the leader pin attach tool ( 1 in Figure 97 on page 169) to the cartridge 2 so that the tool's
hook 3 latches into the cartridge's door 4 . Pull the tool back to hold the door open, then slide the
tool onto the cartridge. Open the tool's pivot arm 5 .

2. To find the end of the tape inside the cartridge, attach the cartridge manual rewind tool ( 1 in Figure
98 on page 170) to the cartridge's hub 2 by fitting the tool's teeth between the teeth of the hub.
Turn the tool clockwise until you see the end of the tape inside the cartridge. Then, slowly turn the
rewind tool counterclockwise to bring the tape edge toward the cartridge door 3 .
3. Continue to turn the rewind tool counterclockwise until approximately 13 cm (5 in.) of tape hangs
from the cartridge door. If necessary, grasp the tape and pull gently to unwind it from the cartridge.
4. Remove the rewind tool by pulling it away from the cartridge. Set the tool and the cartridge aside.
