Hi,
I'm trying to take apart a Tron joystick to get at the centering grommet, and it's not going well.
In the joystick diagram in the manual there is a thing called the "actuating pin" which is basically a bolt that screws into the bottom of the joystick shaft. It looks like you are supposed to unscrew this bolt with a wrench to remove the grommet, but mine won't budge. If I try too hard, the grommet starts twisting with the bolt/actuating pin.
Should I put the joystick shaft in a vice and try harder with the wrench?... or am I doing it wrong? I sure hope I don't have to hammer out any of those roll pins... but it definitely doesn't look like it from the diagram.
