[GreenKeys] oops. e-clip?

[Don Robert House]

Eugene,
Try going to the McMaster Carr website and look for a E-Ring  
Insertion tool.  They come in many sizes.  I have a set but they are  
temporarily stored in our curators garage in California waiting for  
me to pick them up.  If you try using a pair of long nost or needle  
nose pliers and a small screwdriver you might get it on, or more  
likely send it across the room at the speed of sound.

Hello all,

got myself into a bit of a bind.  In attempting to see if this newly  
modified spring (that solved my bit#3 problem) was to blame for the  
clunking sound when entering FIGS mode, I decided to remove the  
spring to see if the clunking went away. Well, it did not. So I  
decided I could safely reconnect my spring and continue to search  
elsewhere.

In trying to put the spring on, I seem to have sprung a tiny little e- 
clip (or c-clip forget which it is).  the spring mounted on a little  
roller and the roller was held onto a little post by a little e- 
clip.  LUCKILY! I have found both the roller and the clip buried in  
the mass of metal bars of the keyboard. Don't ask how I found them!

Any way, I got the roller in position, but how the heck does one put  
this e-clip back on? First there is VERY little room between all the  
things in this area of the printer. But should this clip go on over  
the face of the post? Or perpendicular to the post with the ends of  
the clip being forced open as it overcomes the diameter of the post  
and then finally coming to rest as it passes the widest part of the  
post?

Either way, this will be a task!
Eugene
