322RC2 Repair and ball cleaning

Step 1

This head has a broken release handle
These steps will help you replace the handle and clean the ball

Pay special attention to the tension screw its on the side opposite the handle make sure to put this back where it was in the same position very important.

Step 2

First we start off by removing the top plate with and Alan Wrench

Step 3

Then we remove the bolts holding the casing together

Step 4

After you have removed all of the bolts get a flat head or knife and slowly pry the two half apart. This step you will have to be careful because if the springs inside have been compressed they will shoot out of the casing.

Step 5

this is both half's of the head with all of the parts laid out be sure to not lose any of the parts or you will run into trouble. 

 

Step 6

To clean the ball you will need to disassemble the main workings of the head once you have released the tension from the friction spring you can remove the ball and begin cleaning.

Step 7

first clean the ball itself you don't have to get it perfectly clean.  

Step 8

Next the casing this can be a little tough but you don't have to get the whole thing clean just the main parts.

Step 9

This is the part we will be replacing if you can see their are two catches on the top of the handle and those have broken from our original handle. 

Step 10

After putting everything back we leave a gap in the casing so that you can push the handle back into place. You will have to be careful when pushing it into the casing you need to make sure that the spring does not pop out the back once you have the handle inside you need to press the casing together and hold it as you screw in the bolts.

Step 11

Now this is one of the most time consuming things out of this entire assembly making sure the tension screw is in the right position and then tightening if it is not positioned right and not tight your head will not work.

Step 12

Here is the finished product with tension screw tightened and everything working as it should.
