removing joystick from Nintendo Cab

you don't need to take the ball top off!!!!!

Just put a small screwdriver in the E-clip on the bottom and twist to remove the clip, then the shaft (with the ball top on) slides right out the top
Oh yeah, watch out for the spring, take the e clip off with a ziplock bag over it so the spring doesn't hit you in the eye or fly across the room

Thanks guys,  I was starting to think there might be a way around not removing the ball top.  It seems mine *had* a set screw in it but now theres just a tiny hole on the lower portion of the ball top where it used to be.  And it's definately a 4-way stick.

I'll probably take another stab at dismantling it this weekend.  I appreciate all the info!  Does anyone have any recommendations for a good silicone spray to use on it after I get all the grease cleaned off, is WD-40 fine, else I have some stuff out in the garage for use with the car.  It all seems the same to me, but this is my first arcade cab and I wanna fix it up nice ^_^.

Don't use WD-40 as a lubricant because it isn't.

Somewhere, I think maximrecoil posted on how to best maintain Nintendo sticks.

I'm on my way out the door now or I would search for the thread -- maxim is the expert, except that Nintendo sticks DO break and DO burn !  >:D
