Step 5Re-Assemble the Retraction Mechanism
With the headphone wire in the hub, re-assemble the parts in the reverse order.
1. The spring has to go through the slot in the center axle.
2. I wound the spring up fairly tightly before placing the wires through the guides, such that I would be assembling it in an extended state.
3. Carefully place the ball bearing in the track.
4. Place the top cover with the screw hole back on.
5. Screw the 2 halves back together.
6. Test out the retraction to see how well it works. It should retract all the way to the audio connector. If not, then you may need to remove the top cover again, and wind it a little tighter. Although, you do want the spring pull to be weak when it's fully retracted.
