ANSWER FOUND - Taking apart a U360

(1/2) > >>

GAtekwriter:
Did a search but didn't find exactly what I was looking for - hope someone can help.  I ordered the hard springs to replace my stock springs in my 2 U360s.  I'm having a hard time disassembling - I've taken off the mounting plate and removed the rod/spring assembly from the electronics base.  On the bottom of the assembly is a slot screw that is VERY tight... there's a small piece of metal surrounding it that I'm not sure about...

Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks, guys.

Do you mean the slot on the end of the shaft? If you are trying to unscrew it whilst holding the other end of the shaft you will struggle as its one solid piece  :P

I think the small piece of material you are talking about is an e-clip. You should be able to pull it off with some pliers or insert a small phillips screw driver into one of the e-clip gaps and prise it off. Be carefull if you use the latter method as the e-clip is likey to fly off somewhere, aim it into a towel or do it in a plastic bag or something.

The whole shaft assembly should then fall to pieces as its slightly spring loaded.

So it is the e-clip that's holding the whole thing together?  I'll try it - thank you for quick response.  Trying to get the Joys mounted today.

Got it!  That little e-clip is a pain, but once I got it off, it wasn't to hard to figure out.  Anyone adding the longer rods and stiff springs should be aware that the extra black insert that comes with the set goes on TOP of the bracket, not below - took me a few minutes to figure out where everything went, but the joys are back together and work great!  The stiff spring is definitely worth it.

I just last night was checking out the above method of disassembly. First part is easier, but the retaining clip is probably more difficult to get off this way. What extra insert? Didn't see anything on this at Ultimarc. Can you post an image?
