7. Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (see 1 in Figure 2).
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.
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 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.

11. Close the pivot arm 4 of the leader pin attach tool by swinging it over the leader pin so that the C-clip snaps onto the
pin and the tape.
12. Swing the pivot arm open and trim the excess tape 5 so that it is flush with the reattached leader pin 6.
13. Use your fingers to remove the leader pin from the cavity 3 in the leader pin attach tool.
14. Use the cartridge manual rewind tool to wind the tape back into the cartridge (wind the tape clockwise). Ensure that the
leader pin is latched by the pin-retaining spring clips on each end of the leader pin.
15. Remove the rewind tool.
16. Remove the leader pin attach tool by lifting its end up and away from the cartridge.
