I use a pair of needle nose pliers. Slightly work off one side of the e-clip, then pull it right off. Never had a problem. |

Ditto on the needlenose pliers method. I've never had to curse Jesus using that method. :laugh2: |

I finally had some time to work on this project... I have everything laid out on the bedroom floor. I got my wife settled in to watch Grey's Anatomy. Kids sleeping soundly. Then... Problem. :banghead: - I successfully pulled off the jesus/e clip from one of the joysticks. - I unscrewed the top piece that holds the leaf switches. - I removed the collar, 2 little springs and washer. - I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get that rubber gasket off. See pictures below. Please... Any ideas? |

Sometimes they rust to the shaft. (Sometimes = pretty often, actually.) I've seen a soak overnight in Coca-Cola reccomended. You could also try applying a liberal amount of 3-in-1 Oil or some other penetrating oil and letting that soak in. |

Cover the setup with a rag or other cloth to keep them from flying away. Then use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry them off. Getting them back on may be just as hard as taking them off. --- End quote --- They're also known as a Jesus clip. Why? When you take 'em off and they go flying, you let out with a "JESUS!" :laugh2: |
