| Replacing U360 shaft & spring |

So I just got my U360s and opted for the longer shaft and stiffer springs. I'm having trouble removing the shaft from the joystick. On Ultimarc's site, it says "If your stick is not yet fitted to a panel, remove the 4 screws on the front of the faceplate and remove the swivel assembly." I have removed the 4 screws and taken off the faceplate. I'm stuck on the 'remove the swivel assembly.' Sorry for the total newb question, but I'd really appreciate some details as to how to get the shaft and spring out. |

I have mine sitting on my desk and taking it apart now... ...look at the bottom of the shaft and remove the magnet (looks like a large watch battery) there is a flathead screw there. ;) EDIT: Take off the mounting plate first, pull out the shaft then look for the watch battery magnet. |

That's the problem. I can't pull the shaft out because the magnet's on the bottom. And I can't remove the magnet because my fingers can't really pull it through. And it's expensive so I don't want to damage anything. I'm sure this is really easy, but I can't seem to get it. Do I unscrew the shaft somehow? Seriously, any help would be appreciated. |

Once you remove the 4 screws from the top, the whole joystick part should lift out. The magnet will probably fall off as you do this, thats what mine does. |

That's the problem though. It doesn't fall out. I've tried to pull up on the shaft, but that doesn't really do anything. Below are two pics. The first shows after I have taken off the top plate. The next one shows a pic of the magnet that I can't get at. I feel like a complete idiot cause I can't figure it out. |
