A search didn't show any repair methodology on this baby.
Anyone had this thing apart and fixed the locking mechanism? Mine just quit one day, found out when I turned it and instead of spinning in the "locked" mode as it should, it loosened the bolt holding my Garmin. Opening it up I have a spring and BB that fell out, but with no formal or informal lock smithing under my belt, not sure what the next step is to repair this beast. Yeah, I know, new ones are available for about $20 incl. shipping, but I'm more interested in finding out how these things work and fixing mine. Any suggestions, photos on how to fix, would be appreciated.
