so I took mine apart a while back ago and never replaced it... I just found the parts to it and I can't get it back together (well, I can get it together, but after I put it back, if you press on it, it doesn't stay down).

I'm not sure if I'm putting this back together wrong or what... I can't figure out what's supposed to lock this thing down.

picture of parts:



descriptions (from left to right)
Part A: plastic cylinder, hex end, center hole in bottom is threaded
Part B: large spring
Part C: plastic collar with three guide bars
Part D: small spring (not sure this belongs...)
Part E: screw
Part F: plastic sheath with guide slots/bars
Part G: plastic cylinder, interior has guide bars/slots, one end is threaded (goes to part I)
Part H: rubber seal
Part I: threaded cap

FIGURED IT OUT!

Part F onto part E (small plastic sheath onto screw, with guide bars closest to screw head).
Part D on top of part F (small spring onto small sheath).
Part G onto F (large cylinder onto small sheath, with threads of large cylinder closest to screw head).
Part C onto Part F (with guide bars facing end of screw).
Part B into part G (large spring into large cylinder).
screw Part A onto Part E (plastic cyliner with hex end closest to screw end)

buy a new one so you can take it apart and see how it's put together...and then return it

lol, would have been an option. but not nearly as fun as figuring it out on your own
