Impossible to fix the springs

 assembly, monochrome, screen-printing, sp_assembly

1. Description of the problem

When comes the time secure the arm to the rest of the frame using the springs, these look impossible to reach. 

2. Solution

It is a difficult step, here are a few things to try out to make it easier:

  • Place the ring diagonally (high side towards the front).
    • Loosen the screw securing the ring to the frame to have some play.
      • Place the both rings on each spring and use the screws from the arm to catch the fillet of the rings. Then tighten all screws/rings.
