Steps to fix your Xbox 360 x clamps

In order to fix the x clamp of your Xbox 360 you need to follow these steps:

First of all you need to remove the console very carefully. This is not difficult and you can find some good videos where they will show you practically how to do it. While taking your Xbox 360 console apart, don't forget to label different parts of it so that when you are getting them organized again you don't get confused.

After that, you need to remove the x clamp and the heat sink. Use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the x clamp. Do it very gently. After this is done, flip over the main circuit board to pull of the heat sink. The heat sink is also attached with screws that you need to loosen up.

After that, put the washers on the screws and then place them in the heat sink holes. Keep the tip underneath the circuit board so that you can screw them up. Again you need to go through all of it very gently.

In order to fix the Xbox 360 x clamps, you need a few basic parts. You will be needing exact size spring and nylon washers, bolts, thermal grease, a flathead screwdriver, a regular screwdriver, scotch tape and a drill (in case you want to attach the heat sink with the chassis).
