Reinstalling the pawl assembly and flipper coil
Steps
- Pass the plunger through the coil bracket with the pawl pointing at the playfield, and slide the bat shaft through the bushing into the pawl, leaving it loose for now.
- Fit a new coil sleeve from the non-terminal end so it sticks out about 1/8 in at the terminal end. If the old sleeve will not come out, the coil is heat damaged; replace it.
- Fit the coil, terminal end toward the pawl, with its nylon tab in the bracket notch.
- Bolt the coil stop back in place.
