Step 4 - Securing the tool
The tool has a hole at its edge, which coincides with the hole in the head arm. The
leftmost position of the tool is necessary to ensure the bound between the tool and
actuator arm. Securing of the tool is done by using the securing pin.
Hard disks with one head don’t have a hole in the arm through which a pin could be
placed, so this step is skipped. Since this tool is not secured with a pin, be carefull in the
next few steps that the head doesn’t slide off the tool in the process.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!
If the connection of the tool and actuator arms is not properly engaged, heads might slip
from snouts during the disassembly.
