Remove the frame joint sleeve (2) and cylindrical spring (8) by pulling them over the pole cable
assembly (7). Retain cable assembly and cylindrical spring for re-use.

the pole cable assembly (7), and out the other side of the frame pole (1).
(3)
Carefully spread the split ring (5) and thread it through the hole in the frame pin (6).
(4)
