7. Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (see 1 in Figure 5 ).
8. Place a new C-clip into the retention groove 2 ( Figure 5 ) on the leader pin attachment tool and make sure that the clip's open side faces up.
9. Place the leader pin (from step 6) into the cavity 3 ( Figure 5 ) of the leader pin attach tool.
Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the following step use care when you are folding the tape over the pin.
10. Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your fingers (see Figure 5 ).
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure to properly center the tape on the pin causes 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.

11. 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.

13. Use your fingers to remove the leader pin from the cavity 3 in the leader pin attach tool.
14. 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.
15. Remove the rewind tool.
16. Remove the leader pin attach tool by lifting up its end and away from the cartridge.
