Been trying too do a DK CP Retro ran into a problem trying too remove the Joystick from the cp ..

How do you go about doing this.
 
Unscrew the ball on the top of the joystick (should be a set-screw), unhook the wires, remove the bolts holding it to the panel, and pull it off.

If unscrewing the ball works for you- awesome. Mine had a hex bolt in it that would not unscrew. After much fumbling around- I came here and found the you have to remove that c-clip at the bottom of the joystick, then everything will slide apart.

To remove the c-clip, I used 2 small screwdrivers and pushed the open ends apart and towards me.
 
I did'nt think about if the black ball could come off by it's self.

It has the plasic Ring thing just under the black ball.

^^^^ Winna!

The c-clip is small but it all comes out easy.
 
anyone got a pic of this c-clip thing? there seems too be this metal thing inbettween the spring and the switches.

I've tried moving that but nothing happens.
 
Yeah, just remove that clamp and slide the stick out through the top. There should also be four bolts holding it to the cp.
 
Pay attention to where all the parts go,so you put it back together right.
Here is a diagram of the joystick.
