This guide will provide a step by step process to replace the left or right trigger spring in a Yobo Gameware controller for the Nintendo GameCube.

Tools: Flathead 3/32" or 2.5 mm Screwdriver

Step 1 :: Back Panel

• CAUTION: Be sure the controller is disconnected from the console or any source of power.
• Place the controller (button - side down) on a clean, solid work surface.
• Use your screwdriver to remove the six 9.2mm Tri-wing Y0 screws that hold the back panel in place.

Step 2 :: Removing Back Panel

• Gently life the back panel up, separating it from the front panel.
• CAUTION: Some components could fall off the front panel if the controller is knocked around during this step.

Step 3 :: Removing Triggers

• Depress the trigger assembly using your index finger while using your thumb to keep upward pressure on the grey square bracket and clear circular component on the underside of the trigger assembly.
• CAUTION: Maintain a firm grip on the entire assembly, as the components could spring apart if you release pressure.
• Rotate the assembly upwards and towards you to remove it from its housing in the controller.
• NOTE: The removal process is the same for both the left and right triggers.

Step 4 :: Replacing Spring

• Gently release pressure on the trigger assembly, allowing the components to come apart on your work surface.
• A new spring may now be incorporated into the designated trigger assembly.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
