So I took apart my Abu Ambassadeur 5600 C5 Mag. When I took off the left side there was tension (like a watch backplate) and when i removed it a metal thingy popped off. Now I'm having a hard time (fail) reassembling it. I've never seen a mag assembly before ad I've been using abus for 20 gears. Can anyway give me some tips (a VIDEO WOULDBE AMAZING) on how to put the left side back together properly? The schematics are no help for my small brain. (ps the video below does everything but take apart the left side of course)

hey thanks so much..worked great...except those abus have a physical spool tensioner on the left side plate.
mine is the mag slider mechanism that controls the tensioner...in the re-assembly there are some fussy parts i cannot get aligned...here is a schematic blow up of the problem area...esp parts 23506/23501/1126622/25222

Then you have a dome side Abu!
I have a 4600 c4 AL mag trax here, should be the same reel you have with one less bearing!
As far as I knew, they assemble the same way?
You might have to take something thin, like a business card to help slide the spring into place, as you move the slider up and down a little bit and try to catch it!
I don't know, that I'll have time tonight, but if nobody else comes up with anything!
I will, take a little video of my Abu!
But that's the video I used, when I took mine apart, and did, the same thing you did, LMAO!

Not sure what's going on?
But if I click my link up top, it takes me right to an old Abu repair video by "spud gun" and shows exactly how to assemble it!
When I clicked on your link, it took me to the other videos you were talking about?
Look for this video, should be right at the top, all do you have to do is click visit!
This is a picture of the video I'm talking about!
