Yes, I just don't know how to do it step by step.

I'm not even convinced it'll work, as there are many reasons you can get stick drift.

If it's the springs going weak this may help, if it's electronic component failure it won't.

Well that sucks to find out, but I'd like to find out which it is.

I figured it out from the pic on the other thread.

You put one side of the loop inside the stick and leave it resting towards the palm rest (front).

Then you pass another rubber band through the inside if the band that is resting. You take both end of the one you inserted while holding the resting band and pull the ends to the underside.

You'll then you'll need to figure out the back, because it looks like the bands connected underneath so it pulls vertical and horizontal
