Then dismantle the eject mech, clean, re-grease and reassemble. (I think
Tony's cautioned in the past against dismantling the head assembly /
positioner, which is certainly sound advice, but thankfully there's no need
to do that just to get at the eject assembly).
There are 2 issues.
The positioner comnes off as a module very easily. But if you do that,
you wil lahve to set the radial alignemt when you put it back -- said
alignement is set by moving the positioner. it's easy to do if you have
na alignment disk.
Much worse is taking the posiiioner module apart. There's rarely a reason
to do this, but if you do, you wil lhave fund settign it all up again.
Don't ask how I found out.
But you certainly don't need to strip the positioner to repair the eject
linkages. Yu probably don't need to remove it either.
