with the gap.
3. While carefully pushing the black stick
in towards the flip assembly about 2mm,
rotate the stick as if you were tightening
a screw clockwise.

moving the stick in a scooping or
shoveling motion. Do not use any
metallic tools. (see Figure 7-11.)

front housing, carefully feed the the Flex
Connector through the slot in the front
housing. Take extra precaution to
prevent stressing and tearing the Flex
