7. Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (see 1 in Figure 5).
8. Place a new C-clip into the retention groove 2 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) into the cavity 3 of the leader pin attach tool.
10. Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the following step use care when folding the tape
over the pin.
11. Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your fingers (see Figure 5).
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.
