How do I remove a Joystick?

(1/2) > >>

gregkinnear2:
I just got my first arcade machine in December - an original Street Fighter II cabinet.  I would like to restore it as much as possible and so I will have many question for the people on this forum.  The first question I have is: how do I remove the joysticks? 

I have taken the Player 1 joystick apart as much as I can but I do not know how to remove the stick top.  I have tried holding the bottom in place and twisting the stick top off but it seems to be on there solidly.  The joysticks still work so I would like to be able to keep them.  Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

PL1:
Carefully remove the E-ring (bottom left corner) using a small flat-blade screwdriver to push the belly of the "E" away from the shaft.



Warning: They can go flying across the room.

Thank you, this worked.

E-clip, also known as a Jesus clip.  Because when it goes flying... well, you know...

Cup your hand over the clip so it doesn't go flying and definitely wear safety glasses.
