7.Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (see in Figure 23).

8.

Place a new C-clip into the retention groove

(Figure 23) on the leader pin

 

attachment tool and make sure that the clip’s open side faces up.

9.

Place the leader pin (from step 6 on page 59) into the cavity

(Figure 23) of

 

the leader pin attach tool.

 

 

Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the following step use care when folding the tape over the pin.

10.Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your fingers (see Figure 23).

Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure to properly center the tape on the pin will cause the repaired cartridge to fail. When the tape is properly centered, a 0.25-mm (0.01-in.) gap exists on both sides of the pin.
