- Save the boot and spring on the anode side. That one doesn't look burned.
- Save the spring on the flyback side, if it's there.
- Soak the springs in vinegar overnight and clean them (or ideally tumble them).
- Carefully cut the remains of the burned boot off, preserving the cup that is inside the boot, attached to the wire. (Do not cut the wire).
- Clean everything out of both cups/boots with Goof Off and Qtips. Lots of them.
- Get some silicone hose (6mm 1/4" ID 8mm OD) to replace the boot on the flyback side.
- Solder the springs to the new diode. See post
here.
- Reassemble everything.
- Take two zip ties and zip tie the anode wire to the black plastic ferrule where the wire enters the cage. This can take the place of the broken standoff, to hold the wire. And it will mechanically stabilize the wire, so moving it won't translate as much force to the diode.
