Schritt 2

Carefully remove the paneling of the joystick using your hands to pull the panels apart.
Be aware that the panels will fall apart when the screws are removed unless they are held together.
This metal piece must be put back into its correct position. If not it will impair the movement of the joystick's rudder mechanism.

The metal piece must be put back but the picture does not show the correct place for it. The silver metal spring is a coil with it’s two arms sticking out perpendicular to the coil. What you must do is hook the lower arm on the white plastic bar On the left side and then squeeze the upper arm over to the other side of the white plastic bar. The spring will be self clamped on the white plastic column with two arms gently gripping the left hand side white plastic bar.

Thank you. This was very useful. For further clarification, the spring must be clamped in the fashion that provides more resistance. I did it with the ends of the spring pointing inwards on the left side of the stick which was incorrect; the ends must be pointing away from each other on the left side of the stick when the spring is repositioned in order for it to work properly.

Be very careful when reassembling the two halves of the joystick you need to ENSURE you do not trap any off the many thin wires. The wires are the thinnest most miserable bits of wire and clamping one will most likely shear through the the two of three strands of copper wire within. Trust me this is easily done
