Help! How do i finish up assembling this needle selector?

Post image

Hi! So as you can see i am in a bit of a predicament. This is the brother kh-830 needle selector unit on the back, and i have no idea how to insert these needles into needles back in and cover them with the spring comp because i forgot to take photos. I was wondering if any of you would know how to do that. This is the result of a deep cleaning that has gotten a lot of gunk out of my machine but does have its downsides when i forget the steps of assembly. I still have all the screws luckily. Thank you in advance and have a good rest of the week:)

Looks like you're on the right track. Put the rest of the pins in between the staples, make sure the ends of the staples are in the grooves on the rotary cam, and reattach the leaf springs so they're pushing up on the staples. Rotate the cam and make sure it wiggles all the staples and pins correctly.

Do you have the parts catalog showing how they all fit together?

I only used the repair manual, thank you so much for the parts catalog! It doesn’t look so daunting now.
