5. On the leader pin (1 in Figure 108 on page 216), locate the open side of the C-clip 2. The C-clip is a
small black part that secures the tape 3 to the pin.
6. Remove the C-clip from the leader pin by using your ngers to push the clip away from the pin. Set
the pin aside and discard the clip.

7. Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (see 1 in Figure 109 on page
217).
8. Place a new C-clip into the retention groove 2 (Figure 109 on page 217) 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 216) into the cavity 3 (Figure 109 on page 217) of the
leader pin attach tool.
Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the following step use
care when the tape is folded over the pin.
10. Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your ngers (see Figure 109 on page 217).
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure to properly center the
tape on the pin causes 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.
