Reassembling a Kimbrough servo saver

Post by Frankentruck »

I have a Kimbrough servo saver that popped open when I was removing the screw from it after taking it off a servo. Getting the spring back inside the 2 halves of the servo saver body can be really frustrating. However, there are some small holes near the spring stop feature. Running a piece of waxed dental floss (fishing line probably works too) through the spring and the holes allows you to pull the spring into place and hold it there while the servo side of the unit is added. The pic below shows the setup for this technique with a broken servo saver.
