Default Pullstart problem-Un raveled-help =)

Well i got my 4 things from cler yesterday with his amazingly fast shipping =D. I'm very satisfied with everything but I had a slight problem that arose. I went and opened my new OEM Pull start from redcat and i guess on accident i pull it a little bit and everything decided to pop out. the plastic middle piece and the wiring and crap and the string is un raveled too and i have no idea how too put it back together like it came out of the package! Anyone know ?

bro, its not easy to rewind the spring, you should never pull on a plull start when its not on, the string holder will pop out and you will have a mess. i will see if i can drum up some pictures for you, i remember a site that had pictures of the pullstart rebuild

oo and thanks Eddie yeah i have no idea when i pulled on it, i didnt intentionally do it I think it grabbed onto something and it happend. But i keep getting closer to getting it into place but like firebird said it just isnt staying tight enough for me too push it down into place.
