The following procedure describes how to reattach a leader pin.
To reattach a leader pin by using the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit:
1. Attach the leader pin attach tool (▌1▐ in Figure 124) to the cartridge ▌2▐ so that the tool's hook ▌3▐
latches into the cartridge's door ▌4▐. Pull the tool back to hold the door open, then slide the tool
onto the cartridge. Open the tool's pivot arm ▌5▐.
2. To find the end of the tape inside the cartridge, attach the cartridge manual rewind tool (▌1▐ in
Figure 125 on page 122) to the cartridge's hub ▌2▐ by fitting the tool's teeth between the teeth of the
hub. Turn the tool clockwise until you see the end of the tape inside the cartridge. Then, slowly turn
the rewind tool counterclockwise to bring the tape edge toward the cartridge door ▌3▐.
