I wanted to provide a quick guide on disassembling a pop bumper and replacing any parts that are broken.  When the pop bumper is out the of the machine make sure you inspect all parts for any cracks or damage.  I had two problems when I took my pop bumper apart.  The base was cracked along with a missing spring.  This caused the ring to stick and could have shorted out the coil.

Steps to rebuilding pop bumpers:

  1. Unscrew 2 nuts from the ring
    Underside of pop bumper
  2. Unscrew 3 nuts that hold the coil bracket
    Remove the coil bracket
  3. Desolder the two wires that are connected the the pop bumper light.

  7. Remove the body, skirt, spring, and base.
  8.  Now is a great time to inspect (and clean) everything including the spoon, contacts,  and yoke.  To reassemble the pop bumper, you just need to follow the steps in reverse-order.
