Adriel,

I doubt that it's fair to claim that it "came apart." When I sent it 
back to you I warned you that you would need to install it and then 
cut the cable tie that I shipped it with to hold it together. After 
that, if you tried to remove it again it would likely spring apart.

I believe that's what you did, and that's what it did.   

I'm embarrased when one of my repairs fails, but I can't be 
responsible for fixing problems that weren't my fault. If you believe 
that there was a problem with the repair that I did and would like to 
send it back, I'll be happy to take a look at it. But my impression 
is that it worked fine for you for several years. It's unfair for you 
to expect me to put it back together again for free just because you 
didn't heed my written instructions.

If this was a minor thing I wouldn't complain, but I've done this job 
several times, I've made some fixtures to help me do it, and it still 
takes me several hours to get one back together successfully. It's 
not a simple job.
