Mech Trouble

[Ollie Histon]

This is what i'm left with and i'm stuck.

Is there a trick to putting them back together or something!? because i just can't do it.

Pop the spring back in, making suire that the two peg-like things are located in the holes. thats all that needs done. OR dont bother putting it back in at all.

[Ollie Histon]

yeah but the problem is, you need to like twist the spring around so that the insert fits into the correct part of the mech, and evertime i do this ity just bends the spring and wont just pop in. if that makes any sense to anyone?

I'm using mine without the spring.

Put the larger piece with the hole in over the threaded rod (keeping it facing the way that it is in the pic),

Then push the "C" clip- the smaller piece (facing the same way as in the pic) into the larger piece.

Was that ANY help?

lol

Put the spring on then the plate, then push the clip on and swizzle it around with a screw driver or something. Thats all you have to do

Good Luck, Thats the 1st thing to say.

My Reamended method:

Secure the mech in a vice, use soft grips to prevent damage to the sides.

Remove the Stop screw from the Silver plate.

Place spring into mech body, locating sping end into hole.

Place the top plate on spring, locating end into other hole.

Using a pair of Pliers/grips hold the tab that the stop screw goes into

Twist spring at the same time as pushing down on the plate to get the plate down into the right place on the mech.

Once you have the plate stop behind the stop on the mech body slide the C clip into place on the Mech Bolt.

Done. Its fidly, and you will find it alot easier if you have a second set of hands when your fighting against the sping.

Also if you ever want to lock the mech out for trials use, bin the spring and the sliver plate, and use a Magura spacer (from Evo mounts)
