On Friday, the crew in HAM1 had some issues with the cable connections to ASC WFS_A and ASC WFC_B per alog 84239. 
Camilla and Gerardo already performed some of the same helicoil issue rework last week on one of the POP boxes (we found the helicoil sticking out of the top of the threads on the box and the connector not seated right this whole time), and I have had to do some cable fastener repair on a feedthru and some cables this vent already. So, seems the helicoils installed in the diode boxes ~10-15 yrs ago were likely too long or something causing all the grief. 

Back to todays repairs: WFS_B had a connector screw broken off in the diode box, WFS_A had a cable that the helicoil from the box came off with the screw in the connector and then got trapped. Camilla and I fussed the with "easier" one first, stripping the helicoil off the screw on the free cable end, carefully disassembling the cable RF connector and to remove the now damaged screw and installed a new one. We also reinstalled a new helicoil in the box (4-40x1D), could not remove the tang, but the cable mated up fine. 

On WFS_B however, we attempted to do a half-screw extraction with an extraction wedge tool and a little IPA, no dice. These RF connections have a spring behind them and will not "snap" on as they are supposed to (none in this chamber really have). So, we tried using the 1 good screw and a series of zip ties (last pic) - but this broke on us once and we still couldn't get it tight enough to actually seem "good". Daniel, Camilla, Keita and I then decided to just remove half of the connector shell and push each connector in my hand as they are reportedly typically done in other fields. This worked and Daniel got all the signals back. The connection looks kind of funny, but the connector is really just a nicety to keep them all in order so job complete here.
