I've got a Tee'd Off and I'm trying to get under the apron to service the ball return mechanism. I see a small spring is not connected anymore.

I have two issues though. One I'm not sure how to get under the apron. I took off the plastic part but it's all metal underneath and looks like it has bolts I can't get to while it's on.

The other issue is the manual for Tee'd Off doesn't seem to show the ball return assembly at all. I am not sure what the part number for this spring is, or if it's part of the plunger link maybe? Marco has a ball return assembly that shows it but the spring doesn't seem to be referenced at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Remove the two screws:

Lift the back end of the apron up and over the brackets where it was screwed in.

Then, push the whole apron forward. The front of the apron is held on by 4 small hooks.

Then to put the apron back on, just do everything in reverse order--hook the apron on those 4 playfield hooks pull it back, drop it down over the two small brackets, and screw in those two screws.

Very useful with the pictures, thanks! I was thinking those other brackets were part of the apron but looks like they're just there to keep it snug.
