Round Rock, TX
Can some one please point me in the direction on how exactly to do it? I've just lived with it but if it's an easy fix, I'd rather just fix it now that I'm changing out those flashers. Thanks!

I know it's time consuming to go through 7000+ post about the game. I know it's a c clip I thought maybe 3/16" but I don't know for sure. Somebody can chime in with exact item needed.
Edit:
Here is the link scroll down about half way.

5/16" e ring
Super, thank you. Once I find a link to buy them, I will post it up. Having a difficult time trying to find them on the regular sites. Found them on ebay, but seem way expensive.

Go to a hardware store. They should have some in stock.
Same size as the one used for the shooter rod. Costs $0.20 and put a slight bend in it before installing it for a slightly tighter fit.
Sometimes I think the disk or the motor is going to rattle itself loose. Thanks for re-posting this.

Quoted from BriGuy5:Great, thanks guys, I will check Home Depot tomorrow and report back.
You can check to see if its in stock before you go to Home Depot
Well this solution doesn't work for me. I put the e-clip in and it bounds up the spinning disc and won't turn as freely by hand and the motor won't turn it. There's really only 2 spots you can stick the e-clip, tried both and no good. I guess mine doesn't have as much play as others, but enough to make noise. Damn

At this point I would call or email tech support. I would also let your Distributor know you are having the problem. You may need a new assembly.
Well if anyone is interested in seeing and hearing what it is, here is a short video of the disc rattle. Sorry for the crappy angle, sometimes off shot, and portrait view, but it was tough to get my phone in position while hitting the switch.
Yeah, it just jammed the motor. Called stern, they said there is a clip in the shaft already. They said remove it, slightly bend it, and put it back in. I've only found one clip and it has nothing to do with the play in the shaft. Gave up for now.
The video is without the clip in I assume as it's rattling and not bound up.
There is a flat the set screw sets on where you can adjust the length of the shaft to make room for the eclip if you'd like to try it. I took some pics when I had mine apart last to fix an off-center disc issue.
Can't believe this was not noticed by Stern. Straight out of the box mine rattles! And my friend's does as well.
Thought Stern sent out tech fixes??
I still think this game could be great once the code develops and boards/rattles etc get fixed.
