2. Remove the two pins (

3. Slide the rear part of the buffer beam (

connection) are in one line;
4. Reassemble the two (at step 2) removed pins to the tube (

5. Lock the two pins with the (at step 1) removed R-clips (
5

6. Remove the R-clip of the pin on the frame (

8. Lock the buffer beam with the (at step 6) removed R-clip (
