Unscrew the center of the barrel
Note: Assembly utilizes threat locker. You may need tools to unscrew. Use a small piece of duct tape on the smooth part to protect the aluminum.
Use pliers on the duct tape, and an adjustable wrench on the flat of the knurled part near the bottom of the screw driver to create leverage to unscrew the barrel.

Next use a 2.5mm hex key with a long shaft such that it fits all the way through the top half of the screw driver.
Insert the bearing/top assembly onto the hex key, and begin tightening the bearing assembly into the screwdriver.
Note: threadlocker should not be necessary here as there is an O ring that is responsible for maintaining the thread loading

手順3

Screw the two halves of the barrel back together.
While not necessary, some thread locker can be applied to the threads on the upper half of the barrel to prevent the two halves from separating. Be sure to use non-permanent thread locker in case you need to do this again in the future!
